Check out this tip to see the things that can fail to cause your electric dryer not to work.
I recently solved this problem on my ELECTRIC dryer by taking apart the lint
collection area. Some dryers allow you to do this by removing a couple
screws surrounding the lint screen holder. Others require some
dis-assembly of the top and front panel.
Once you have access behind or below the lint screen, use your hands or a
strong vacuum (shop-vac) to clean out any collected lint that has
fallen below the collection screen and settled in the exhaust duct. I
pulled out about 100 cubic inches (~1.6 liters) of collected lint, cat
hair, and debris that was obstructing air flow.
Obstructed airflow can cause metal parts near the electric heating element to
overheat and scorch clothing and is a serious fire hazard. I expect similar problems can occur with gas dryers.
To do that today, you would need to do the following for older dryers. Turn off the power by pulling the plug From the back remove the console. Remove the top Undo the two screws at the kick strip Carefully remove the front remembering there are wires. Short the wires together and tape them up. Put it all back together. For modern dryers. Some are surface mount and just pull out. Order the part, DON'T leave it like that! ..
The reason for this will be that you have mis-routed the belt or that the spring on the idler arm is weak or has broken / dropped off. The idler pulley puts tension on the back edge of the belt. What made the loud noise will be the key to this. My bet is that you lost the spring or an idler arm mounting bolt.
When it hit the floor you have probably knocked something loose inside the motor itself. You will need to check it spins freely by hand and check the carbon brushes for the armature. You may also need to strip the motor down to check all the wiring connections inside the motor.
If it smalls 'fishy', it is overheating at the motor windings. That would not cause the dryers thermal fuses to trip. Dryers don't normally have an internal breaker. Remove the motor, strip and clean it. Lubricate the bearings. It should spin very freely.
