Most likely it is the start capacitor or possibly a stuck motor switch. You can remove the power to the pump, then remove the back cover and you should see a black capacitor there. Remove it and make note of the wiring connections. Take the capacitor to a pump repair shop or sometimes ACE hardware will have them. Try a new cap. If that doesn't do it, it will be time to haul the unit to a repair shop. I hope this helps.

03 toyota corolla wont start makes humming noise

Sounds like your starter has failed, what your probably hearing is the solenoid trying to engage. Have the starter checked.

1988 subaru GL 10. It wont start after it has ran a while. The humming noise that I assume is the fuel pump coming on just before I start to crank does not hum on those occassions when it wont start. If...

Most likely a bad fuel pump, try turning the engine over while someone bangs on the fuel pump, located under the car about the right rear passenger seat area, if it starts you have a bad pump & it needs to be replaced.

Press the start button on dryer, it hums but wont turn. With 2 people pressed the start button again, held the door switch, reached in turned the drum, it hummed stopped humming then no more nothing....

Sounds like a weak motor. You'll have to get a new motor installed. They are fairly inexpensive and easy to install yourself on that type of machine if you are handy. Motor is located in the bottom right of the machine, attached to the drum belt through a small pulley underneath the drum next to the motor.

Pump just hums but wont start

Sounds like its frozen and causing a very heavy load on your circuit. If the motor gets hot within seconds, its shot and needs replacing. Have you attempted to turn the motor over by hand ?

Kenmore dryer hums but will not start

If it just hums the motor is probably on it's way out. If it makes a growling noise, it's the motor.
