My sister's Kenmore Dryer MN 110.76902690 makes a buzzing noise (much
like an electric buzzer) when I press the start button.

There is a decal on the door that says the dryer will make a noise
(unspecified) if you try to start it and the lint trap is full. The lint
trap isn't full, but, looking into the cavity it goes in, there is a lot
of lint that has escaped past the lint trap over the years. I tried to
get it out and could only get some of it.

The dryer won't start, noise is there.

Is it likely that even with the trap clean, there is enough lint in the
ductway that the sensor is showing a full filter? Can I clean this part
of the duct easily?

The noise is a buzzing, and I wouldn't consider it a stuck motor noise,
but could this be it?

Any other suggestions, things to check?

Possible, I don't know enough. But, would those explain the "buzzer" I
hear when I push start? Does Kenmore (Whirlpool) have that kind of
"warning"?

I tried calling a troubleshooting Kenmore line, but they want you to
have a warranty to talk to you. Also, they want you to buy a part and
try it to see if that fixes it, and if not, buy another part.

Tomorrow, I'll try to see if I can tell where the buzzer is coming from.
If it's a signal buzzer that will tell me one thing, if it's coming from
a part, that's something else.

Thanks for the help.

Sorry about the lack of help from Kenmore. They
respond well to large doses of cash money, I'd guess.

What you describe as a buzzer is probably a solenoid.
My guess is a cut out, and the power isn't going to
the motor.

Have to wonder if the motor is running and the drum not turning due to a
broken belt.

If the dryer is supposed to "make a noise" when it loses air floe due to lint
buildup, and you were only able to get some of it out of the internal ductwork,
I suggest that you take the back and top off and clean out all of the ductwork.

I've done it numerous times over the year to various models of dryers. It's
basically just manual labor and whether it solves the current problem or not,
It should be done anyway.

repairclinic.com has some really good troubleshooting techniques
and videos. I recently used their videos to narrow down a problem
with my dryer to the exact component in less than a 1/2 hour. All
it took was a meter and some basic tools.

While they may not have a video specifically for your model, the
ones they have can often be used as reference.

Here is the link to your dryer. Good luck!

Thanks everyone, I'm about to try again today. Unfortunately, the rain
we need is here this week and will (for various reasons) make working on
the unit a bit more difficult. I should be able to narrow down the cause
or at least the area.

FOLLOWUP:

Thanks for all the suggestions. I followed some and have a conclusion, I

Kenmore Dryer converted for propane----

From the front panel, with it off -

I took the "cover" off of the exhaust duct (where the lint filter lives)
and down at the bottom (where it exhausts into the squirrel cage fan) it
was packed with lint. So much so that it was caked in the corners. I
took the loose stuff out and washed the cover, and put it back on. No
Joy, however, still the buzzing noise and the dryer doesn't start.

However, with the front panel off, I could tell (I think) where the
buzzing was coming from when I pushed the start button. It's from the
squirrel cage blower that exhausts the air from the dryer to the
outside. This sounds like an easy fix, but I thought I'd come here.

So - - -

1. I don't see an easy way to get at the bolts or screws holding the
motor and squirrel cage in place. Is this something that is easy to do
if the dryer is on its back? Quite easy to lower it on its back in the
laundry area and then I won't have to take it outside to give me more
room.

2. I assume these motors are common and any electrical supply store
would have one in stock. Any other suggestions? I don't want to wait for
one to be shipped.

2.1 With the dryer on its back, it should be easier to verify that
it's this motor assembly.

Thanks to all that helped, except for those that I called on the help
desks who ignored the fact that there was noise and kept suggesting that
I just replace parts until it was solved. I assume that they, like most
others, have a script they follow and haven't any real knowledge.

That's why here is so special.

I tried to take the back off this morning, and ran into problems. I
removed all of the screws that looked to be holding the back on, but

welds as well as the screws, but there is no good way to tell if this is
correct. In any event, I didn't want to force it and so left it alone

So, is it usually easy to take the back off? It's a Kenmore, and is
several years old. There is no access through the bottom as well, and
the front access panel doesn't look to give me enough access to remove

Someone gave me a site with repair procedures, so I'll look there, but
wanted to ask here as well for general advice and help from someone who

than it turns out to be.

I'm at that point now, but as I said in a previous post, I can't seem to
get access to the parts to test them. It's difficult (absent force) to
get the back off, and I don't see a good way to find the parts mentioned
in the troubleshooting guide to test them.

I am the "someone" that posted the link to repairclinic.com.

I have taken the back off of the 2 (3?) dryers that I have owned over
the years. It's never been a problem. No welds, just small screws/bolts.

I haven't looked at the video for your dryer, but the one for mine
shows the back removed with ease.

If you try turning the drum by hand while pushing the start button, will the motor keep it going? If so, probably a solenoid. If lint is the problem you may need to clean the whole exhaust area. Dryers collect lots of lint. Repairclinic.com has a generic video showing how to disassemble a dryer--the top comes off, then the front.

Update:

I solved the problem by throwing money at it. I found out it was the
motor, and a new one would be $160 + shipping, + a wait. I bought a new
one for 20% off and then my discount on top of that. Makes it more
expensive than repairing the old one, but it got done in a day and now
everything works.

It wasn't the lint, even after I cleaned everything out, (not much in
the exhaust duct), dryer still didn't work, but I could see enough to
check the motor, and that's what it was.

Thanks for all the help, and thanks to the video, and instructions, I
know how to access the innards of a dryer. Putting the drum back was
harder than it probably is for someone who has done one before, but I
was successful. The reason the drum was out is I had to convert the
dryer to propane.
