How do I stop the buzzing noise when in heating cycle?

The buzzing only happens when the dryer is heating/ gas is lit and heating. Buzzing is constant until heating cycle stops. No other problems but quite annoying, I'd like to find the buzzer and unplug it.

I know this is old, but I just got this problem fixed and would like to help other people with this issue. It's the gas valve coils (solenoids). They're faulty, and mine came that way... I lived with that horrible sound for years. I was out of warranty but called Samsung to figure out the problem. They said it was "normal operation" which was total BS. When the coil clicked on, it rattled and buzzed super loud. Had a repair guy come. Samsung charges 200$+ for the replacement gas valve coils. However, my repair guy found that the part that came with the dryer was actually made by Maytag!! They swapped out the faulty Maytag coils with a working part and the buzzing has stopped. Hope this helps. Amazon com Samsung Dryer Gas Valve DC62 00201A Home Improvement

SOURCE: dryer heats, then quits

The thermostat that controls the heat has failed. Try one of the other settings on the timer switch ans see if it will heat, the different cycles use different thermostats.

Maytag gas dryer noise when burner comes on

The noise you are describing is coming from the gas valve solenoid coil assembly. This is usually indicative of weak coil.
If this is a warranty situation, request a factory authorized certified technician to replace the solenoid assy. at no charge.
If you want to fix it yourself, be sure and ask us for instructions on replacing the part safely.
