Hello I have an electric Kitchen Aid 'heavy duty' washer and dryer in my garage. They came with the house, they could be 10 yrs old, but I'm not sure. Last night the dryer broke. It still produces heat, the light still goes on when you open the door, but they barrel doesn't spin. I reached in and turned it by hand and it does move, so its not obstructed. It just seems like the gears/belt/chain or whatever is the drive mechanism has broken. A year or two ago something similar happened with the washing machine and I was able to fix it with the help and parts provided by someone on this forum, so I'm hoping to get lucky again. Thanks.
