I have a Whirlpool gas dryer that recently just stopped working. Everything looks solid and connected, and power is getting to the unit because there is some humming when trying to turn it on. Is there a common failure, such as a timer motor, or where and how do you start tracking the problem?

ASK ERIC - ERIC_ ICOULD BE wrong but it sounds like you are having motor trouble, it isd sometimes hard to say without really being there to make the actual diagoneses;; but you need to call a appliance repairman;; styay safe;; HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR ::AND GOD BLESS ::F.B.E.
