    Hi Pete

    Unplug the dryer and then remove a dryer front or rear panel...sounds like the motor is seized or the dryer drum belt has broken.

    Once you have the panel off you should be able to see if the dryer belt has tension or is loose and broken. Otherwise, plug the dryer back in and turn it on...if the hum is from the motor, unplug the dryer again and see if there is a reset switch you can push (rare, but I have seen them).

    Start there...

OK I asked this once and someone asked me what kind of dryer I had and I had NO CLUE. I figured out that it's a GE. It has a VERY loud, PIERCING, squeaking noise. Like, we can't even watch t.v. unless we close the door. My roommate ordered a part and took the whole thing apart and replaced...
