I had this problem and was advised to do the following before calling a repairma. Check electrical panel and make sure breaker has not been trippped.
Check the lint traps - exterior and in the dryer and make sure they are clear.
If you have a plastic exhaust hose shine a light behind it and see if you can see any clogs. Recommend changing to a metal hose - the plastic ones are fire hazards.
Try another electrical item in the plug the dryer uses (hairdryer is best) to see if pulling sufficient current.
If you get this far without getting the dryer to work then you probably need a repairman. I ended up having to have the thermostat replaced $90.00 for everything and he did it in my home - lot less than a new dryer!

Good luck!

I have model 110.60832990 and the dryer is on the drum is turning, the heat is on but the clothes are not drying.

Check the air outlet and see it is not clogged with dirt/flint. Clean the air filter mesh located at the air outlet of flint. This blocks the free flow of air and thus do not dry the clothes. Drying will take place when the air inside has free flow. Before putting clothes in the dryer EVERYTIME this filter must be cleaned OR after every drying cycle.

We have a maytag neptune dryer md-6 and the dryer squeeks and squeels while drying close. Do I need to replace the belt or the drum wheels? Are all three?

i would replace the belt usually over time the belt streaches due to the weight of the clothes. the screaching ou are hearing is probably the belt going aound the drum instead of turning the drum.

My lint filter assembly is broken. I was drying a small load of clothes and the lint filter got tangled with clothes and came out into the drum. The dryer was stopped when I found this situation. ...

The drum should turn either direction. Part of the filter must be catching in the belt at the drum or motor when turning clockwise. CCW would push it out away from the belt so no pinching.

Clothes not drying

A couple of possibilities to check. First, is the lint trap empty? If so, then the symptoms point to hot air bypassing the drum. Look for broken or misaligned plastic ducting inside the dryer itself. Check the exhaust air for moisture, as that is a better indicator than temperature. Don't forget that towels hold an enormous amount of water, & can be extremely long in drying, especially if not spun enough.
