Only buzzes when on-button is pushed....
Ummm... mine wasn't starting either. pressed the start button and heard a click/hum. read all these posts, and checked the door switch first, and that tested fine with a multimeter. then, i pulled the dryer away from the exhaust tube with the intention of testing the heat fuse, and found a surprise.that would make Bullwinkle cry !! ...jammed up in the dryer vent receptacle, and against the drum was a roasted and mangled squirrel. was not a pretty picture, and some flies flew out. seems he chewed his way into the external vent cover screen. Nasty !! rubber gloves, and lotsa paper towels later, i hooked everything back up, and the dryer started. soooo, check for a blocked vent first before you pull everything apart.
Gas dryer md# fdgb23rgs1, igniter glows but no ignition. cant seem to pinpoint if any safety devices burnt out or if gas valve...help
So if the motor doesnt start is just buzzing, The windings have gone out in the motor. You have to replace the whole motor. If you get me the model number i can get you a part number and you can order the part from sears.

When I push the start button my dryer buzzes. It did work once today but made a loud squeaking noise. Now it just buzzes and no one to help because it's a holiday!
When I press the button on my Kenmore gas dryer, it makes a buzzing sound but the drum does not turn. The belt and wheels were replaced a year ago. It had worked from time to time but does not work at all. Model number is 87581800. Dryer is 20 or more years old.
