Tumble Dryer problem Help Needed Please

Posts: 275 Forumite
I have a large tumble dryer which is approx 3 years old.at the weekend it just stopped for no apparent reason
The thing is it still makes the noise that it used to and I can get it to turn if i put my hand in the drum first with the timer set to on mode give it a big spin with my hand and quickly shut the door...by doing this it seems to jump it into working and it works fine till I unload and have to start the whole process again.
Can anyone help me with any ideas where to look first as I havent the money to call somone out to fix it for me so im going to have a look at it myself....Thnaks in advance

Could be the belt is slipping but by turning it it will get an initial grip?
If you do want to look do the obvious and turn off and unplug first.
Take the back off and see if you can see anything untoward!!
After that i have no idea sorry.
