    Default Maytag Gas Dryer LDG8424

    I need some feedback or advice even a common sense I take it.

    The start button is working but just a hummming sound when pressed: tehe: and the motor is not running.

    What are the nearest parts to be replace? thermal fuse or the motor?
    or something else.

    LF?

    Well, the hum could be the motor running without turning the belt- depends on the sound. Also, don't forget the capacitor (usually grey round tube) because if it doesn't kick-start the motor it can cause problems even though it's kinda rare to go bad.

    Thanks, I keep that noted

    could be something stuck in the blower...first thing is open up and check that the blower is clear and the belt is not jammed....not sure how old yours is but most open from the top first then the front comes off if the lint filter is at the front ....take the back panel off to get at the blower if the lint filter is at the top of the machine...hope this helps....not likely a fuse as it wouldn't make a noise then but it is very possible that the motor is burned-out......Please unplug the machine before starting any repairs

    I disassemble the dryer and took out the drum and use a leaf blower to clean up from blower to exhaust out the belt and igniter are fine.
