We checked the breaker first, but it seems to not be a power problem as we hear the timer part making its noise when the timer option is selected and try to start it. Other then that, no movement, no noise.
Resolved. Thanks for all the answers, but it was even simpler then I had hoped. I posted the question based on comments from my spouse. When I got home and checked it out, it was simply that the knob to turn it on, was not turning the bar inside. A simple adjustment and all is well.
Stephen, You haven’t mentioned whether this is an electric dryer or a gas unit. It does make a difference in the diagnosis procedure, and what do you mean by "the timer makes its noise when the timer option is selected and you try to start it? There is no timer option on any dryer that I’m familiar with. We need a little more information before we can intelligently give you a decent answer.
And Bonzo, you need to check the door switch on your dryer.
Maybe get a mechanic because this seems to be a weird situation.

Dryers are exceedingly simple machines. Remove the back panel and check all the electrical connections. I bet something is loose back there. Unplug it before you work on it, though.

Timer could be mechanical?? Our drier we shut the door then i’m not joking we have to give it a light punch on the door handle to make it work.
