Sounds like the push to start switch has gone bad. Not to expensive to fix, and pretty easy to do as well. You can remove the rear of the console, remove the push to start switch (lift the tab, then turn to unlock) and replace. Be sure to mark your wires so they go back in the right order. Jim

It sounds like you have a faulty switch. The switch located behind the start button controls both the on/off setting and the buzzer. You can either replace this switch (which will likely take care of both problems) or you can take it apart and adjust the contacts. You can test them with a multimeter before and after to make sure you've got them adjusted properly.

Kenmore Series 70 Dryer Buzzer won't stop buzzing - Model 110.96573220
  • the buzzer is located under the control panel. 
  • you can unplug it.
  • unplug the dryer or turn the breaker off first
  • then take out the 2 screws on both sides of the control panel
  • bull it forward toward you and unhook it from the case
  • you should see the buzzer with two wires going to it
  • only need to disconnect one.
  •  just make sure you wrap the bare wire connector with electrical tape to keep it from touching metal.
