LG dryer buzzes and doesn’t start

My 10 year old LG dryer buzzes when you push the start button and won’t start, but if you manually roll the drum to get it started it will run just fine. It doesn’t this about half the time, and half the time it works fine without any manual intervention. Doesn’t seem to be related to how much wash in the in t dryer - it’s worked when full, and then doesn’t start with a very light load.

Looking around the internet it seems like people jump to replacing the motor but are there other things to look at since it works on its own sometimes?

Thanks for your help.

Buzzes? usually I think it sounds like a groan or moan, This is a classic discription of a motor going bad. Put a model # of dryer and we will help you with repairs. LG dryer pretty easy to take apart. Skould be about a hour job or if never did this 2 hours,
