Dryer makes buzzing noise but will not run.

I have a Kenmore 90 series electric dryer that's not working. Changed out the starter switch, timer switch, and replaced the heating element. The belt is fine. It was making a loud buzzing noise when I push the starter switch. Now it doesn't make any noise and won't run either.

My Kenmore dryer 90 series makes a squeeking noise while it runs

UNPLUG YOUR DRYER BEFORE STARTING ANY REPAIRS
Your problem sounds like drum rollers have flat spots on them or in need of lubrication.
If you have a front loading machine,
Remove the electrical box that holds the timer switch, start switch, etc. from the top of the dryer. Be real careful not to knock any of the wires off of the timer switch. Then remove the top of the dryer.
Remove the front of the dryer. This will expose the drum and belt, remove the drum and belt and this will expose the drum rollers.
Check your rollers for flat spots, if they have flat spots on them replace them.
If they don't then they probably only need lubrication. Lubricate the shaft of the rollers with a good grade of machine oil such as 3 in One oil. Reassemble the dryer, plug back in. This should solve your noise problem.

Dryer wont start. starter switch is new and timer will run when the door is closed

HI. if the timer is running, and the wiring harness is in good condition, this will confirm motor failure. I would advise to test the operational value of the door switch as well but if the door switch is working, this will only lead to motor failure.

Kenmore 70 series

Sounds like your push to start switch has went bad. When they short out, or cross contact the power continually shoots through it, and the buzzer contniues to make that "Were Under Attack" noise. If that doesnt seem to work, then its a small chance that the timer has went bad.

Lg dryer DLG1701W te1 and te2 codes blower thermostat keeps blowing as well Hello my lg dryer model number DLG1701W has been having issues for the past 3 days. Dryer finished a normal cycle and wouldn't start up again after swapping load of laundry out. When I tried starting it up again it was throwing a te1 code. Looked up the code on lg's website and tried doing a hard reset. Tried a few more times again and this time I was getting a te1 and a te2 code. Looked up the te2 code and decided to pull the machine out and inspect/clean the exhaust. Exhaust wasn't clean but air flow also wasn't restricted and the flaps on the outside of the house were on and in good shape. Hook the machine back up again and tried starting it again with attempting to reset again with no luck. I decided to pull the machine apart and test the thermistor with my fluke meter. found the thermistor on the exhaust side was reading but was all over the place. 13 ohms while in the machine. Down to 9 ohms when removed. After letting the thermistor sit for a little bit it was reading 11 ohms but was all over the place in that range between 11.08 to 11.96. Wasn't sure if that was normal or not so I decided to replace it. Tested the other thermostats while I was in there and found both thermostats on the gas range were reading normal but the thermostat on the exhaust side of the unit was faulty. Not reading at all. So I replaced the thermistor and the thermostat on the exhaust side. Button the machine back up and go to test but initally the same error codes were coming up te1 and te2. Finally after a few more attempts the dryer started. I had it set on a high temp 40 minute cycle. After about 10 minutes of it running though the barrel stopping turning and the gas range shut off. But it didn't throw any codes. The display continued to countdown and all the other light were working as if it was still running. Shut it off a few times and tried starting it back up and the same thing would happen. Countdown would display and countdown. All the lights would light up as if it was working but the barrel wasn't turning. And the gas range wasn't running. I walked away for a little bit to think about it (approximately 2 hours) when I came back to it, the machine was doing the same exact thing as what it would initially do. Click and display a te1 or a te2 code. I pulled the machine back apart again and currently still have it apart. The thermistor seems to be in a continuous 11.25 ohms range with the ohms dropping when touching the sensor it self. The thermostat that was just replaced has blown once again. Any insight on why this could be happening would be very much appreciated Update. Checked all the components again including the motor. Motor checked out good. Put everything back together again. Try it again a few times. This time everytime I tried it, the machine would start and run for a 4 to 5 seconds then shutdown and throw back the te1 and te2 code. Note: it never has both the te1 and te2 code at the same time. Each time it's tried it 1 or the other
