My Kenmore Dryer (Model 417.98042701) does not work. The control panel lights up, when I press the START button, it beeps once and I hear a humming sound, but nothing works (no spin, no heat, no movement). What might need to be replaced?
For model number 98042701

Hello Binh, thank you for writing. The most likely cause is the dryer's drive belt that turns the drum could be worn or broken. The Drum Belt is PS1148434. If you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you.

The dryer would shut off/or not run at all
The door switch/actuator was broken, so for a time until the part arrived, we had to use a broom handle to tightly push the door closed to work. After ordering the part, I watched the video on the web-site. Even though my dryer was a little bit older and a little bit different, the video provided the steps I needed to switch out the pa rt. It took a little longer than 15 minutes, because I needed someone to hold up the lid while I switched out the actuator and screwed back in the screws that held the actuator in place at an upside down angle. All in all, easy to do, plus it gave me the opportunity to vacuum behind the dryer.
