First open the dryer and thoroughly get all of lint and everthing else out of the cabinet and out of the vent system. It is essential that you clean out the blower area also. Try it again, and if you still have trouble you may need to consider a new motor. Let us know what you find out, and also please post the full model number and tell us if the times it starts it heats and tumbles and whether or not it is gas or electric. Thanks
