My dryer starts to work for about 5 minutes and then stops when i try to restart it ,it makes a buzzing sound and wont start

Sorry I am no expert here but it have you checked your filter? It may just need cleaned.
Alternatively it could be an issue with the fan. Over heating could be causing the unit to switch itself off if the fan is blocked or damaged.
Good luck

When pushing the start button the dryer will come on for about 10 minutes and then stop. Then sometimes it doesnt come on at all

If it starts right back up after stopping there is an electrical problem maybe at the motor start switch. If you have to wait for an hour before it will start again then the problem might be that the motor needs to be cleaned of a lint build up.

Remove belt remove tub. Get filter housing off
Clean up dryer. Lock down shaft and remove blower. Pop motor mount clips. Unplug motor. make hote of position f motor. Install new motor use nutdriver to snap down clips. I have the manual and some photos. In my sleep I can completely replace a motor in less than an hour and that includes oiling the rollers and idler and doing a through hoovering out the machine. This machine is worth replacing the motor and really a breeze to repair. Nothing has worked better for over 50 years. Go for it.

Dryer noise sounds like bearing out or a roller is bad model # 417-98702891

my dryer makes a funny noise about 10 to 15 min. into cycle. then shuts off. if you try to restart will not restart unless you hold start button down. once you let go will stop. wait about an hour and dryer will run for another 10- 15 min and start process over again.

Turns off after a few minutes

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.

Dryer runs for 5 minutes then stops

look in the vent line for a small disk shaped overload with two wires coming out of it. it may be bad. also check for a lint build-up in the exhaust line out of the blower. check the damper outlet going out of the house for a build-up of lint.
