Electrolux dryer does not start. Makes humming noise and stops. Drum does not move.
If it makes a humming noise for a short peiod then stops and after a while it does it again the drum maybe stuck and making the motror go off on overload try turning the drum by hand and see how it spins
SOURCE: When start button is pushed, hums but does not run. Drum does not turn. Belt is okay
It sounds like it is the motor or a stuck/obstructed blower wheel. You can start by opening the door, push the door switch in, hit the start button & see if you can turn the drum clockwise by hand. This might get it going. if the drum does not move by hand then the problem is probably within the blower. post your findings for a follow up
SOURCE: Press the start button and drum doesnt start but
motor running but drum not turning, good chance drum drive belt is broken or has jumped off drive pully.
UNPLUG POWER CORD TO DRYER.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the advice. Yesterday a technician came, said the same thing, took the cover off, spun the cylinder and it worked. Must have been blocked"
Hello jamespeattie - Does the washer making a humming noise? If so, either the drain hose may be kinked or the drain in the house is clogged. Once you have confirmed and cleaned the hose and if issue continues contact a professional to move forward accurately. The unit may possibly have a faulty pump or control board.
