I have an old "compact" 3 style tumble dryer very reliable but the drum stopped turning at the start of a cycle but the heater still heats up and now the motor is preatically dead. I removed the side panel of the machine to reveal the motor and relay but the relay seem to be OK I tested the coil and it has not broken and I turned the relay upside down and it made contact with the terminal which leads to the start windings of the motor, does this mean the motor has burnt out or could the relay still be faulty?

replace the relay first, as this is the cheapest component.
 
Went to an electrics shop and bough a new relay, tried it out the relay "clicks" in when the door is closed but the motor does not turn. Looks like I need a new motor, does anyone who repairs tumble dryers have any second hand motors lying around by any chance suitable for a creda compact dryer?
