Kenmore 86870100 dryer Push button to start and it just does move and keep getting a burning smell. First time it did it I unplugged it for a while and decided I might need to replace belt. After a few days I checkeed to see how to remove belt and belt was still on. So I plugged it back up and it started working. After drying about 4 loads I stop for a while then started back and the problem had came back.

SOURCE: Kenmore 80 series quit heating after burning smell..

Any kind of lint or cobwebs on the element would cause a hot spot and fry the element or pop the limit that is mounted on top of the chamber. What your hubby soulda done is take the machine down and vacuum it out after sitting up so long. The fuse is not blown because it still runs so it must be the small guy pictured. It mount up top of the heat element chamber.

SOURCE: Kenmore Dryer stop running when release the start button

I have whirlpool dryer, when i push the start button it will start but only stay on for part of the drying time. no the start button make noise when push and after keep trying it stop.

SOURCE: Kenmore electric dryer, won't start and clicks by time dry knob

usually the thermal fuse goes and dryer dies part number 3390719 located in front of dryer on top of the blower wheel housing,when you read anything out you have to pull one of the wires off to get correct reading.also on some of the dryers there is a switch on the pulley that will kill the dryer if the belt breaks

This sounds like the motor is bad. Hope you didn't pay too much for it. ;-)
