I am talking about a basic dryer with no bells and whistles. You push a button to start it and when you open the door it stops. My dryer has developed a new behaviour ... the motor starts turning the drum as soon as I close the door. I suspect that a centrifugal switch on the motor has jammed. Will something on the motor burn out ? Perhaps a starter coil ?
