i have replaced the motor start capacitor next to the motor it is now running well, the capacitor was a no 7 unit these are the same on lots of different types of dryers it cost £8.99 from a local repair shop the repair took approx 60 min and only needed to remove the top and the r/h side cover to allow access to all the workings .

Try the motor start capacitor, easy to replace and around £13.00 delivered.
