Try this, open the dryer door and hold down the door light switch. Turn on the dryer and press start.When you hear the motor humming, turn the drum clockwise with your hand to see if it will turn. If itruns, you have a bad motor and will need to be replaced. If it doesn't turn, something is jammedinside and you will need to disassemble the unit to find the jam.
Hope this helps.

GE JVM1630 makes a humming noise and doesn't get hot

It may be a shorted high voltage diode or a failing magnetron.

Here are some links you or someone you know can use for test help, but read their safety warnings first:

(if it's not shorted or burned, it's probably okay)

You can find links to helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts here.

I'd recommend that your bookmark this link to your favorites.

Fan will not come on and makes a humming noise.

I'll assume you don't have electric meters. I'd first try it in heat mode if the blower runs. I'd guess the blower relay or the high speed winding is burnt out. If it doesn't run in heat mode most likely the motor is bad.
