HI. My dryer has stopped turning, belt ok and will turn if I give it a nudge to start it. Before going down the route of a costly replacement, I thought I'd try changing the capacitor as apparently it's quite a common problem. Where is the capacitor on this model though? Can anybody help me? Thanks.

Thanks Ian. I think I should have been a bit clearer. I'm aware the capacitor is by the motor and I know what it looks like, I just don't know where in my dryer these are located. There are loads of panels and tons of tiny screws and I don't really want to futilely take the whole thing apart if I could just go straight to the right panel and get to it directly! Knowing my luck I'll never get the flipping thing back together!

normally on these machine styles it's alongside the motor, looks a bit like a small tin can with wires out the one end. Make a note of which colour wire goes where and get a new one.
