when I turn the knob to a setting and hit start, it won't go. However, the timer will run. One of the modes has a wrinkle guard. When it gets to that wrinkle guard, the drum will turn for about 30 seconds turn off, and continue until the cycle ends. But nothing when it's actually drying.

The control timer is likely the issue and needs to be replaced.
