Electric Dryer, Electrical Buzzing Sound (with video) - Samsung Dryer DV218AEW/XAA

Help!

Recently my Samsung Samsung Dryer DV218AEW/XAA Stack-able Electric Dryer is making an electrical buzzing sound. I would like to fix it myself if possible, but will call out a repair technician if necessary. Any advice would be appreciated!

Does not sound electrical to me. Needs disassembled, inspected and cleaned. I’d be suspecting debris in blower. 
 

But belt, idler and rollers should be checked.

Sounds very similar to a Samsung dryer I worked on a couple months ago.

It was the idler spring vibrating for some reason - to fix it I lubed both ends of the spring hooks so they can't grip to the the metal and setup a vibration of the spring.   I also wrapped the spring coil with a piece of duct tape.

I would have preferred to use a piece of heat shrink tubing on the spring but didn't have any so went with the duct tape.  The lube on both spring hooks alone may have solved the problem.

I think I also remember seeing a post somewhere in this forum a few months back where they had to do something similar to stop a weird vibration noise.
