Dryer will not start when I push the start button. You can hear the sound of the dryer wanting to turn on but it does not. I have already tried to unplug and replug

If the motor is trying to start only when you have your finger on the start button but won't continue to run, the run coils in the motor might be bad. If it just buzzes (hums) when you try to start it, the start/run switch in the motor might be bad, or the starter windings might have an open. Either way, it sounds like the motor might need servicing.
