Kenmore dryer 70 series doesn't always start, sometimes it will just put out a buzzing sound after its been running and trying to restart, will start back up after 20-30 minutes.

Look for a blown capacitor if the other components are all fine.

It sounds like the hi-limit thermostate and/or the thermal cut-off is what is causing your dryer to shut down. Basically it's over heating. You should replace these two items togeather. Also the thermal cut-off will be triggered by a grounded out heating element. Here is a diagram of where these items are located. hope this helps

There can be many reasons why your dryer will not start or turn...

The most common causes are the belt breaking or jumping off, or the motor goingbad...

your thermostat is either bad or heading that way quickly not to hard to replace though.. check here for a look see at what they are and how to replace them http://www.partselect.com/dryer+dryer-wont-heat+repair.htm

Sounds like you may have tripped the thermal limit on the motor. Although, usually you will hear a loud buzzing sound when you try to start it. Let it set for about 2 hours, and try to restart. If that doesnt work, the only other thing that could stand in your way is a door switch. The door switch is a very easy and inexpensive repair. The motor is quite a bit more. If you have not cleaned the lint out of the inside of your dryer (requires some disassembly of your dryer), that would be a good place to start and will sometimes allow a thermally overloaded motor to work again. Keep in mind, if it is the motor, they only have so many thermal resets before they are just done. There are instructions on this website if you are interested in trying to diagnose this dryer. Please, make sure before you take it apart, you have it unplugged!

sounds like you have a bad motor,it's hard starting and then it's overheating,when it cools down it will run again

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