I can hear motor humm but it wont turn - Kenmore Dryers

The start capacitor has gone bad. Needs to be replaced. That's what's inside that bump on the side of the motor.

with some one turning the key and some one at the fill tube where you put gas in. With your ear close to the fill tube the other person turn the key on you should hear a loud humm. If you dont hear the humm i would probally guess on it being the fuel pump in the tank. A another way to check to see is locate the fuel rail and on the fuel rail there is going to be a tire valve stem cap unscrew that turn the key on and see if there is pressure by pushing the center and see if there is pressure . Now there is gas in the line and if there is pressure it is going to come out pretty fast so be careful.So that is the two ways to check to see if you are getting fuel to the engine.

Check under the machine and see if the motor turns easily by hand. It could be the motor, or it could be the bearing. The switching off after a while implies that the motor is struggling against a heavier than normal force and trips because of overheating. Most likely the bearing/s is/are ceasing up.

1. A sock or item caught in blower wheel preventing motor from turning.
2. Berring in motor has seized and wont allow motor to turn.

can you hear the motor or does the unit humm or vibrate when it is turned on
if yes then have a look at the belt
if not it's time sor a service call

see if you have fuel getting to the injectors

the humm could be the contactor check the breaker for the out side unit or see that you have power at the unit dan
