dryer only works if one or two items put in, any more and it refuses to turn, just groans the motor makes a noise but dont move and burning smell, when it does get going it cuts out half way through cycle and refuses to move, makes a noise like the reservoir is full but its empty?

take the back cover plates off and find the motor with the drivebelt.somewhere around there is a capacitor and this is more than likely the problem.when they fail they stop the motor from starting up especially with a heavier load.
