Repair it or replace it?

my dryer sounds similar... power but not spinning. if i give it a good spin it will get going then i quickly shut the door and it spins.

We thought it was a fan belt, which you can replace yourself. But in mine it is a power thing...

EDIT to finish my post... Sorry was FAk and DS1 bumped me..

Repair shop for sure - OR check out your local paper in the classifieds. There may be a few fix-it type blokes local to you.

I think I'd just buy a new one considering it's history .
