Sounds like the motor is bad or the motor bearings are bad. This will create more resistance and will therefore create more current in the circuit. More current in the circuit will cause the overload to trip. This is for safety to prevent excess heat building up in the circuit which could cause a fire.

Your Kenmore dryer timer may not be working properly due to a faulty timer motor, a broken timer knob, or a malfunctioning timer switch. It is recommended to consult a professional technician to diagnose and fix the issue.
The hair dryer makes a whirring or buzzing sound as its motor operates.
The f-01 error code on a Kenmore dryer typically indicates a problem with the control board or a communication issue between the control board and the motor control unit. This may require a reset of the dryer or, in some cases, replacement of the control board. If the error persists after a reset, it's advisable to consult the user manual or contact a professional technician for further diagnosis and repair.
A burning smell from your Kenmore 70 series dryer may indicate a few potential issues. It could be caused by lint buildup in the lint trap or venting system, which can lead to overheating. Additionally, worn-out or malfunctioning components, such as the motor or heating element, might also produce a burning odor. It's important to stop using the dryer immediately and inspect it for blockages or damage, and consult a professional if necessary.
Could be a bearing, could be a motor, could be something (like a sock) caught up in there...tough to say without opening her up!
The motor is housed at the back of the hair dryer just behind the vent.
To find a motor for the Kenmore 2142 sewing machine, start by checking the Kenmore website or authorized dealers for replacement parts. You can also search online marketplaces like eBay or Amazon, where sellers often list compatible parts. Additionally, consider visiting local sewing machine repair shops, as they may have the motor in stock or can help you source it. Always ensure that the motor you purchase is specifically compatible with the Kenmore 2142 model.
Part # 3390291 on a whirlpool (or kenmore, or maytag) dryer is the hi-temp thermostat. It sits next to part #3977394 Thermal cut off on the outside shell surrounding the heating element (the kit including both is kit# 279816) . The full thermostat #3387134 sits next to the thermal fuse on top of the blower motor.
I am betting on a Ge or Kenmore unit built by GE. It has a real motor.
It moves a fan. The fan is what causes the airflow in the hair dryer.
To test a dryer motor, you can use a multimeter to check for continuity in the motor windings. You can also visually inspect the motor for any signs of damage or wear. Additionally, you can test the motor's start switch and thermal fuse for proper functioning.
