Sounds like you may have tripped the thermal limit on the motor. Although, usually you will hear a loud buzzing sound when you try to start it. Let it set for about 2 hours, and try to restart. If that doesnt work, the only other thing that could stand in your way is a door switch. The door switch is a very easy and inexpensive repair. The motor is quite a bit more. If you have not cleaned the lint out of the inside of your dryer (requires some disassembly of your dryer), that would be a good place to start and will sometimes allow a thermally overloaded motor to work again. Keep in mind, if it is the motor, they only have so many thermal resets before they are just done. There are instructions on this website if you are interested in trying to diagnose this dryer. Please, make sure before you take it apart, you have it unplugged!

I have a Kenmore Series 70 dryer wont start, just hums
Check for correct voltage at the terminal block on the back of the dryer, where the power cord attaches to the dryer.You should be getting 220/240 volts, check by way of a voltage tester.
If the voltage is correct, then could be the motor capacitor or the motor itself, or start button?
Good Luck !

Kenmore 70 series dryer cuts off after 10 minutes
You first shoul check the belt to see if it is not broke or twisted. If not then your motor is heating up and thios causes it to stop. a new motor would be your problem.

Kenmore 90 plus series dryer won't work
Sounds like the belt has broken. You could probably also use new drum support rollers. Check out this site which shows how to change a dryer belt:

It's not a difficult job if you're comfortable working with hand tools.

Kenmore HE5 gas dryer 110.97086601 no heat - ignitor not coming on, thermistor, fuse, high temp cut off, seem ok The dryer has no error codes and spins up, blows cold air. Removing the front lower panel I checked thermal fuse (no resistance), thermistor (about 11K ohms), the thermal cut-off switch (no resistance), thermal high-limit (no resistance), ignitor had some small amount of resistance which was in the mentioned rather wide range of 4-400 ohm, and I didn't test the flame sensor because, well, the ignitor didn't even come on. I heard someone wrote about a relay (which relay not sure?) but I'm thinking that wouldn't affect the ignitor coming on. Any thoughts?
