This morning my dryer starting smoking and filled the laundry room with a terrible smell. i am looking for the repair manual and wondering if i can fix it myself.
Sears has the best parts and repair website around (even for non-sears items).
Go to the Sears Parts website (link below) and enter the dryer model. It will bring up a visual schematic of everything.
You won't find a repair manual for any specific model - that's something only the service techs get (or understand since it really is technical), but a dryer is pretty simple.
The schematic on the web site will let you see how it goes together and some apart, and as you take it apart you'll simply need to look for parts that look burned or damaged, and take it from there.

SOURCE: Burning smell
you can unplug the unit , and reomve the lower aces panel (3 screws along the front bottom of unit) youll probalby see an excess of lint built up in which case you can vacuum it out, and then check/clean and or replace your dryer vent
SOURCE: Maytag Neptune Dryer smells like burning rubber or plastic...
could be the board, could be a motor, could be a belt but i would run it intill something just stops or try your best to take it apart and look through things and see if you can see an indication.

Sounds like the motor went out. Before trying to start it it needs to be inspected. If you are not comfortable opening up the cabinet then I would would recommend calling a service tech. If you need further assistance please let me know.
