When I turn my Kleenmaid dryer on, there is a buzzing sound and the red light comes on. It does not spin. Is this easy to fix or will I need a new dryer?

It seems like you might be hearing the motor running but the belt might be off the roller or broken. If it is like the dryers I have had, you can pull out the lint filter then push the two clips that hold the top down, and lift the top of the dryer, you can get a flashlight and look down into the dryer to see if the belt is OK. You can also lower the lid but not latch it then press start and open the lid to see if the motor is running, if you can see the pulley on the end of the shaft it should be spinning. The hardest part of fixing a belt problem is reaching back in the dryer to get to it. Best of luck.

Will not start

Motor is going bad. Needs to be replaced, or checked for obstructions. If the dryer is older just replace the motor, as it is an easy fix and part is relatively cheap. Least cheaper than a new dryer. Youtube replacing a dryer motor for easy how to.

When I press the start button on my GE DPSR610EG4WT profile dryer it only makes an electrical buzzing sound and will not turn on or start. What causes this?

The buzz is probably coming from the control switch drive motor. If it is not turning the switch, the dryer wont run.

Red power light and buzzing sound with red lamp light.

My Sony lost its picture and had a flashing light. Unplugging for 36 hours solved the problem.

Tv won't turn on red lights blinking

You are hearing the spark gap mounted on the lamp ballast board. If you can hear that sound, that means everything in the lamp driver circuit is working except the lamp!

Get a new lamp.

Dryer problem

You need to listen for the motor working ? Open the dryer door hold the door switch in and start the dryer . A buzzing sound may indicate a bad motor. If you hear a slight spinning noise ,it may just be the belt.
