This is a Magic Chef Heavy Duty dryer. I was drying some clothes and

wouldn't start. First, it made a kind of buzzing sound but then when
I pressed the knob again it didn't make any noise at all.

TIA for any advice.


It's possible the theromostat has gone kaput; something that happens
occasionally. If the dryer fails to come on again you'll have to call
a repair man-- uh, repair person-- and have them check it out.

The thermostats are extremely easy to replace and easily accessable once
behind the dryer. They are down near the vent and heater. This link is
for Whirlpool/Kenmore but has pics of part locations on dryer. Mayeb
helpful.
