I have a kenmore 80 series dryer. 18 years old. Makes loud buzz when starting and overheats and stops in about ten minutes. I've bypassed thermal fuse and samething happens. I've also cleaned out complete lint track and motor. Dryer gets very hot and turns off. When it cools down you can start it for another ten minutes. I've notice the top of dryer gets hotter than the bottom (drum motor) area

take off the vent line from the back of the dryer,if it runs fine your vent line is blocked or the outside vent where the flapper opens might have a cage on it to keep animals out of the line,it keeps the animals out but it's a lint trap.if you have a long run use a leaf blower and blow out the vent line,if that's ok check the t-stats on the heater box,

Testimonial: "You were right the new motor was bad."

check to make sure you have 220 volts to dryer. if so check element for continuity make sure power is off

when you try to start it again do you hear a humming comeing from the motor? can you jump start it by turning the drum while holding the start button? If you say yes to these questions you have a bad motor.

SOURCE: kenmore 90 series dryer, motor wont start, loud

when you push start button there is a humming noise and dryer won't start i release the button and noise stops. there is a burning smell. I cleaned the lint from under the dryer and around. I checked the belt and manually rotated the drum no binding. is it the motor or start switch? or what?
