My 20 Year Old Dryer Works Great, Although I Have Replaced The Drum Idler Wheels And The Lint Screen. Now The End Of Cycle Buzzer Won't Stop Until I Open The Door (when I Close The Door, It Starts Buzzing Again) Or Give The Dryer A Good Bang, Which Stops The Buzzing Completely. If The Door Is Opened At About Mid Cycle Or Near The End, The Buzzer Goes Off When I Close The Door, And Then The Dryer Won't Start Unless I Give It A Bang. Any Solutions?

You probably have a burnt motor start switch mounted on the side of the motor. Make a diagram where the wires go to it, pull it off, and clean the contacts. If that doesn't work, you will need a new motor as the switch is probably no longer available.

That worked! I had to take the motor out and clean all the lint from it to make the switch work porperly. Thanks for your help.
