I have been having some problems lately. It would stop before clothes were dry. It would not restart until it cooled off for some time. First I replaced the felt rub pads that the front of the drum rides on. They were bad. That seemed to help a little. Then same symptoms. If I had a real light load it would run longer. The timer continues to run down to zero.The last time I had it apart one of the rear drum support wheels seemed stickier than the other. I replaced the rollers. These did not solve the problem. I am thinking that the motor must have too much internal drag, and is causing it to overheat and shut off. I don't see any other friction components. The belt tension pulley spins freely. Now it won't start at all even empty. Does this type motor have a centrifugal switch that might be stuck? My guess would be if it had a centrifugal switch that went bad, it would either work on not, not go bad in stages.Is there any easy way to diagnose this? I am thinking about an amp meter. I don't have one, but could get one. I see that Amazon has one for about $27. Any other ideas. Sorry for the rambling. Thanks, Roy
