Kenmore dryer 70 series
 

The dryer stopped working this morning. When you set the timer and then press
the start button, you hear a buzzing sound. It almost sounds like the motor is
bound up. Is this a good starting point or should I be looking at something else?

Just wanted to ask here first before I start digging into it in case it is
something else.

I forgot to mention. It is an electric dryer.

Could be dried motor berrings. Or, it could be that something else is
binding the drum. Or, the belt may be snapped and the motor is spinning
freely.

Turned out is was little plastic pellets that the grand son had in his pocket,
which got lodged in the fan side of the motor and jammed it up. Quick fix and
cheap fix, just my time. You have to love grand children.
