When hitting start button, it sometimes buzzes, but fails to start. Can sometimes wait for a little while and try again, and it starts. When it buzzes, it will only buzz for a few seconds and then nothing.

Hi,

Please power cycle the dryer and the turn the dial 90 degrees in the opposite direction of the the usual direction that you'd use to set a cycle. Then try to use the dryer again.

Thank you.

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.

based on your description i would guess that the start relay on the compressor has failed or the compressor it self is the buzz you are hearing... if the noise would come and last for 5-20 seconds and then stop or click sound made then that is the compressor trying to start but kicking out on overload. it usually after sometimes a few minutes or sometimes in thirty minutes will try again once the compressor gets hot enought it may take longer.. you will have to gain access to rear of unit and on compressor is a relay that may have failed. make a drawing of the wires and remove sometimes (2) seperate pieces see if it rattles or smells burnt. if so get you a new relay and may have caught it early enough to not have done any other damage... repost with anymore questions good luck to you...

you should have a warranty on the machine? it could be a number of things did you set the video setup to you tv? sometimes it just a lack of the machine trying to compansate for the tv.

Could be a couple things, depending on the buzz you are getting, if it's a buzz from the board like an alarm, it could be a door switch, if it's an electric sounding humming buzz it could be something stuck in your blower wheel like a sock

Sounds like you have a motor problem draging and it can't get started I just replaced one same problem.

sounds like you have a connector that is loose.unplug dryer and check all wire connectors.

sounds like your motor is overheating or going bad. sometimes lint built up around the motor can cause it to overheat. or the motor is dying.

Hi,

I don't know how you could have got it into diagnostics mode by accident - - but here's how it goes . Hit the power button until there is NO display . Unplug and wait a minimum of 30 seconds , plug back in and within 30 seconds hit SIGNAL button then DELAY START button then SIGNAL button again then DELAY START button again. door should lock and display t01 It is now in test mode . There are 14 different test it can run through in this mode , but all we are trying to do is check for error codes now and maybe get you back to normal, So turn the knob one click clockwise and hit the START/PAUSE button and see if any error codes come up. To exit the diagnostic mode - hit signal button then delay start button then signal button then delay start button and you are out of service test mode and back to normal

I have the same problem. Sometimes after trying and trying again it will start. Sometimes I hit cancel, wait for it to 'cancel' and then sometimes it will start.
I'm getting fed up.
