My maytag neptune dryer makes a grinding sound,and

Do a continuity check on thermal fuse and also check your breaker for the dryer recepticle to make sure you have power going to the dryer

Sounds like a bearing id gone. You will have to disassemble it and check it out.

remove the front cover and drum and clean out all lint including lint filter blower wheel housing and all exhaust vent piping from inside dryer to outside discharge,if this is done and it persists,replace the cycling switch and high-limit thermostat as these may have welded themselves and can no longer control heat

when motors go bad the smell is godly awlful is yours like that? if so have the motor replaced

sounds like motor is in a bind see if you can rotate drum by hand if you cant then your belt is hung up,or a belt pully is bad,if drum turns freely,sound like motor is going bad

Hi,

If you are having problems with your gas dryer not heating the most common problem is that the ignitor goes bad. Even though it glows sometimes it is still not working properly.

if you dryer is gas check out this gas no heat tip....

If you have an electric dryer, you can have many different things that can go wrong causing the dryer not to heat.

check out this electric no heat tip...

if its electric burning smell,its either a overheating motor,capacitor or both or burnt connections,sounds like a motor problem,it will be very hot to touch if its failing,check capacitor though as it could be causing motor to overheat,rating of cap is on side

It sounds like your belt needs to be replaced. You're smelling the melting (burning) rubber.

Q - My electric dryer runs but will not heat, what could stop my dryer from heating?
A - Things that could stop a electric dryer from heating:
- house fuse or breaker ( needs two of them ), heating element, burnt wire, thermostat(s), thermal fuse ( not all models ), motor heat switch, timer, selector switch, burnt power cord/plug.
A ohm meter test for these parts is here.
