I have found that the switch activated by the door close or turns on the interior light when open on is likely the problem. You may notice that if the door is open and you push the start button, it will buzz. So if the door is closed and you get this buzz when pushing the start button, there is a problem with the door switch. The start button "thinks" the door is open, and therefore not start. The defective door switch needs to be replaced. At least highly likely.

Could have a bad motor or something stuck in the blower wheel.can you spin the drum by hand?if so most likely the motor.try this open the door,hold the door switch in with one hand,spin the drum with the other and have someone else hit the start button,if it runs you have a bad motor.by helping it along it sometimes will run but the motor is still bad and it will buzz again.

1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee wont start ???

sounds like a bad fuel pump. open the gas cap and listen when you turn the key to the on position, not all the way to engage the starter, you should hear a buzzing for 5 or so secands that is the fuel pump in your gas tank. if you dont hear that buzzing the intank fuel pump is probley not working.

Drum won't spin caused by piece shoe lace got stuck in drum. dryer was still on but drum not turning.

first of all never dry shoe laces in a dryer a=or anything simular to it. The drum has a very thin seal between the front edge of the drun towards the front panel of the dryer. That front panel will be needed to be removed so you can clean the seal out really good and thoroughly inspect it for tears, rips or and missing peices. If beyond using replace it. While you are in there inspect the belt around the drun and tensioner too. The belt should be tight without cracks in it and the tensioner & bearing should move freely for good performance
