My 5 year old GE Dryer all of a sudden wouldn't start and was making a very loud humming sound. All electronics were working, but it would start.

I held the door the white door button and started the drum by hand while my wife hit the Start button. The dryer started right up. I had to do this two times, but after the second time, the dryer started on it's own.

Could be that the bearings etc. that hold/balance the drum are worn.
Try turning the drum in the correct direction. It should turn fairly easily. You may want to try this on a couple other dryers to get a feel for it.

Could also be that your motor is on it's last legs.
