Tumble Drier Fault (UK Model Philips AWB 681)

Feb 23, 2004 2 Replies

The motor on my drier will no longer turn the drum. There is a noise from the motor as though it is trying to turn. I got the motor out thinking it could be worn brushes but it appears to be a brushless motor. The windings show continuity. All bearings move freely. Can anyone advise how I can test such a motor. Or suggest what other component may have failed



Thanks
