Kenmore dryer makes the ticking noise but when we push the button to start the dryer it wont start. What should we look at?
Please check your Thermo fuse
and ticking noise should not be there unless the dryer is on which means that your timer is acting up

It wont start and is making a grinding noise from the timer
HI. the timer mechanism is fused. This will require you to purchase a new timer. The current timer mechanism is damaged at this point. It will not initiate the proper sequential commands in this state.

When you push start button, it makes noise but won't start.
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.

Dyer was grinding, then won't run
Sounds to me like you motor has froze up. Is there any smell coming from the dryer? The fuse would not cause this. A fuse would make the dryer do nothing when you hit the start button.

Whirlpool Cabrio Dryer Check Vent Indicator Lights up, all other functions are normal, vent is clear. Whirlpool Cabrio Dryer Check Vent Light always comes on, even when running with only 4 feet of straight, clear vent hose. It comes on a minute or maybe a few minutes into the cycle, but not immediately. Dryer appears to work normally, otherwise. Drying times are normal, level of heat seems normal. Airflow out of hose seems normal, but I never checked it before the issue with the indicator light started, so I have no baseline for this. Could this be a failure of some sensor in the dryer? Does this indicate an internal blockage of the vent within the dryer? I cleaned out the lint trap and the outlet vent on the dryer as well as I could without disassembly, but the light still comes on every time. I will get the ducts to outside cleaned, because it needs to be done anyway, but the light comes on even when not connected to the ducts, so I don't think a blockage in the ducts could be the real source of the problem.
