Hi @hyde52619

What is the model number of the dryer?

Sounds like the start up capacitor needs replaced. Turn the power off and try turning the drum by hand to make sure nothing is jamming or something has seized like a bearing.

The motor is running - that is the hum. It isn't turning the drum - that is because the belt is broken. Replace the belt.
