Dryer makes a humming noise when you push the starting button...sometimes when pushing the starting button it wont start, you just get the humming noise.

Here are your parts.
Replacement parts for MAYTAG MDE6000AYW DRYER- ELE | AppliancePartsPros.com

Try turning the drum in the correct direction, it should turn fairly easily.
You may want to try this on a couple other dryes to get a feel for it.
If it is hard to turn then the drum may be putting too much load on the motor.
You will have to open it up and find the cause.

If it turns OK.
Then open it up and check the motor. Could be it is plugged up with lint and the centrifugal switch cannot work properly.

Often this is a sign that the motor is on it's last legs.
