When I push the start button, the dryer does not come on, but it just hums.

check for broken drive belt

thermal overload on motor tripping

Look inside while it's 'humming'. Is the drum turning? If not it's most likely a broken drive belt.

Hi, Does the dryer only hum when you push the start button?
Might be a bad motor.
Does the motor hum but, the drum doesn't turn?
Please let me know and get me a model # so I can assist you further.

if the motor hums when you push the start button but wont move you probably have a frozen motor. happens from too much lint packed around the motor and ruins the bearings. if you can access the motor from a front kick panel you can check this. possibly something is jammed in the blower wheel as well. unplug it and check it out

Sounds like the motor is cutting out on its thermal fuse. The only cure is to change the motor.

It sounds like it is the motor or a stuck/obstructed blower wheel. You can start by opening the door, push the door switch in, hit the start button & see if you can turn the drum clockwise by hand. This might get it going. if the drum does not move by hand then the problem is probably within the blower. post your findings for a follow up

You have a broken drum belt. The hum you hear is the motor spinning at high speed.

Thanks for the question When you push the start button was thera hum if there is a hum when you push start you need a new motor THanks for the question The appliance doc
