power on ok and makes noise but will not start to rotate and starts to smell of burning if left,,,so removed top panel and noticed it will start if you give it an helping hand....but when it stops to reverse its cycle it needs help again to get going
belt looks intack around drum...could it be slipping on motor??? or some sort of starter etc faulty
