Dryer is making a weird light ticking sound.

This seems like the burner control valves are not functioning properly. The rear is still working properly so without knowing brand I would say the control valves are defective.

Hi, If you are having problems with your gas dryer not heatingthe most common problem is that the ignitor goes bad. Even though it glowssometimes it is still not working properly. if you dryer is gas check out this gas no heat tip.... If you have an electric dryer, you can have many differentthings that can go wrong causing the dryer not to heat. check outthis electric no heat tip...

could have a bad timer,when it stalls try tapping on the timer or wiggling the knob to see if it will start,there's a little motor on the timer that you hear ticking and it could fail.

There is a door switch that is activated when you close the door, you should hear a faint click sound when you close the door slowly,or you can use a flat screw driver and lightly push on the switch to see if it clicks. If there is no sound then that is possibly the problem.

my dryer won't turn on, when I push the start button I do hear the timer ticking sound.

I am sorry to inform you that your drive is failing. Normally drives will start with a faint ticking then move onto a solid clicking sound and maybe even a grinding noise. You will need to backup all of the data on that drive and then download the diagnostic utilities from your drive's manufacture and run the testing tool. If you can hear any ticking there is a very good chance the drive will fail the diagnostic tests. Assuming it fails you will then be able to RMA your drive for a working one as long as it is still under the warranty period. If your drive passes all the testing from the manufacture's tool I would advise you backup your data from that drive regularly and run the diagnostics weekly until it throws and error code.

Make sure it has power. Then:Check the door switch. A little lever sticking down through top right of door opening. If it is not there you will need new door switch(sometimes the little lever breaks off). If it is there and does not click when you press it in you need a new door switch. if it clicks when you close the door then you have a bad thermal fuse.The thermal fuse is found by taking the back of the dryer off. The fuse is an oblong white plastic piece with 2 wires attached.

This is a A.C. hum that you are hearing. this is a warning sign. You are experiencing motor failure. the actual windings inside of the motor are losing their potential to hold an even current due to breakage. the shutdown is a safety feature built in the control panel to prevent electrical spark/fire.

could be the water valve assy. I`ve never heard a circuit board click. but anythings possible.

I think you have a short somewhere inyour set most likely the horizontal output transistor which may have shorted by the high voltage transformer going bad. The faint ticking sound that you hear is the power supply trying to start but the shorted load won't let it. Stargazer
