The problem first started with the timed drying- it wouldn't stay running more than 5 seconds after I took my finger off the "on" button. Now in any setting, when I push the "on" button, it just hums. If I push it more than a couple of times in a row, it'll stop making any kind of sound. It OCCASIONALLY will start, but won't stop on it's own, and if I open the door to stop it, the same humming problem starts when I try to restart it again. Can ANYONE tell me what the problem could possibly be???

Most likely the motor has gone bad.

- The part number for the motor is AP3094245

Here are the break down diagrams for the Whirlpool dryer Model LE5780XKW0
