More of the lint and mouse junk may have moved up closer to the dryer wall. Take the dryer hvent hose off the dryer to see if there is more stuff in it. Sound like the tub cannot move.
U have some piece of clothing jamming up the works. Unless you find it and remove it yourself you are looking at a nice expensive repair since the guy is not gonna come out to help you on the cheap.
U have learned a lesson the hard way but one that you will surely never forget! LINT SCREEN MUST BE IN PLACE.
sounds to me like your centrifical switch in the motor is going or went out so the only fix would be to replace the motor ? does the drum turn free? ive pulled socks and hose out from between the drum and frame before hope this helps you out
Could be a couple things, depending on the buzz you are getting, if it's a buzz from the board like an alarm, it could be a door switch, if it's an electric sounding humming buzz it could be something stuck in your blower wheel like a sock

" Thanks so much for your help. Now that you'v mentioned it, the buzzing does sound like it's coming from the motor. I'm,now, more comfortable in call "
The model number you have listed has the dryer vent on top of the dryer. Small items commonly fall down into the vent chute on these dryers. Articles can easily be retrieved by following these steps:
1. UNPLUG the dryer. Dangerous voltage is still present inside a dryer even when it is turned off.
2. Remove the lint screen and remove the two screws that connect the vent chute to the top panel.
3. Turn the dryer around so you can access the rear, and remove the exhaust vent hose.
4. Locate and loosen all the screws from the perimeter of the dryer back panel.
5. Remove the back panel of the dryer.
The air blower assembly and dryer vent chute are located on the left hand side (as viewed from the rear of the dryer). Remove the screws that hold the vent chute in place and you will be able to access anything that has fallen into it.
NOTE: Anything left in the vent can eventually get caught in the blower fan. So, it is important to retrieve anything caught in this area to prevent damage to the fan and to ensure the dryer ventilates properly.
If you have any questions about these procedures, please let me know. I hope this helps you.
Turn off you power to the dryer and then,
You could run a coat hanger straightened out with a hook bent on the end of it into the lint vent at try to hook the sock.
But probably you will have to remove the back to follow the lint vent.
You may try to remove the vent hose and run the straightened coat hanger in there to try and remove the sock.
Hope this helps
sounds as if wither you have a bad motor assy, or something haas fallen down into the "blower assy" preventing the motor form spinning.. in the back wher eyou tested your fuse, just to the left of that you see a large tubular housing (rounded on bottom", thats the cover for the blower , i believe its 3-4 screw holding it on, nad also the 2 screws visable when you remove the filter assy, the housing will pull off( you may need to wiggle it abit) and hopefully youll find a sock or something jammed in the blower assy
