The buzzing is probably the relay trying to start the motor. See if the motor has a capacitor, have it checked. If the motor is all clogged with lint, the start/run switch can get blocked. Clean out all that lint with a vacuum cleaner. Check the tub bearing, and make sure the drum spins freely.

it is either the door switch or start switch, this website will show you how to test both, Good Luck Tim:

I do believe you are probably seeing AF. AF is restricted airflow, which can be a number of different things. You might have a gasket leaking between the tub and front panel, maybe the gasket is loose or missing from the door, or clogged fan housing inside. Most of the time, it's usually a venting issue in the home.

Replaced

Remove back panel should be on the lower half of the heat tunnel

No. Check your vent hose to see if it is plugged.

It might be one of the electric components such as the thermostat.

see the diagram :1) O.k if the thermostat 2) Thermofuse is o.k is good resultant BUT please 3) Test the door switch for open or defective , if the remain open the motor will NOT START. see the diagram. 4) After changing the switch if the problem remain the same the motor is faulty( centrifugal swithc, etc) need repair or replace. 5) Test the push button start for diryt or open, test the wires for loose, broke, or burn wires too.God bless you

if the washer is a Whirlpool built you need to go through the front of the unit the back panel lifts up and two clips hold the outer can on and onece removed you can access all components

Motor is defective. The windings get hot and it shuts off.And comes on later when it cools.

Most commonly it's the white thermal fuse in the back of the dryer, but it could be any number of things including a door switch, burned wire, bad motor, bad timer, etc. Try the thermal fuse first. It's easiest and cheapest.

unplug dryer and gain axcess to back of dryer and remove back wall plate look at lint shute bulkhead housing their will be one thermostat with four wires and one white plastic fuse safely remove the wires off fuse and tape together for testing only ...... make sure cover with electrical tape now make sure wires dont touch anything meatal no plug in dryer and check for heat if dryer starts heating goahead and order new fuse and replace thermal fuse ,,, and clean dryer venting and check for any kinks in vent pipe ........ if that test didnt produce any heat replace heating element its in aluminum duct on right side of the back of dryer ...... their is also a high limit tstat on the upper left side of this duct you can jump this out for testing only and check for heat aswell donot operate dryer with these jumped out except for testing theses are safety precautionary thermostats,,,

Doris, the model # given is incomplete. However, I will tell you that 99% of service is done from the front, NOT from the back. If you do remove the back, it is very time consuming and most likely unnecessary. I suggest you post the actual issue you are having with the washer to see if we can direct you in the proper manner.
