My dryer is very unreliable - it will work with a load sometimes absolutely fine, other times it won't spin at all - makes a grinding noise as if its trying to, maybe even do half a rotation before stoppong. I have tried taking clothes out to lighten the load, even got down to having just a couple of things in it and it still wont work. I've 'pushed' the drum round to get it going - this sometimes works after a few attempts but it is so frustrating! Hope you can help me!

If it make a grinding noise might be motor... But I would change the capacitor first, only cost $15 buck approx. The capacitor is what gives the motor an extra kick while it starts to turn.... little extra torque. Very easy to do yourself.
