Check your breaker box for fuse box. sounds like you are only getting 1 leg of the 220VAC to the machine.

SOURCE: my maytag electric dryer all of a sudden stopped

sounds like youve lost one leg of power to the unit, the element uses 240 volts and the motor and timer are connected one on each 120 volt leg to balance out the electrical load chk your input power for 240volts first

Maytag atlantis dryer wont shut off. changed the timer and it still wont move.

send the model number.if this is electric try this.put it on air fluff and start it,if it has heat your element is bad,it's grounding out,part of the element is touching the metal case around the element.if it just did this on auto i would say change the cycling thermostat but on timed dry it just counts down like a clock.i saw this once and the element was bad,grounding out.it was tricky i thought it was the timer also.

Electric Dryer starts and runs but won't heat.

Clothes not drying, but dryer runs & heats
1.defective operating thermostat---test thermostat, replace if defective
2.fan or it's pulley loose on shaft---tighten set screw
3.incorrect heat or timer settings---reset timer
4.clothes to wet when placed in dryer----wring out or extract water from clothes before placing in dryer
5.clogged lint screen or duct (little air motion)---clean out lint screen & duct

When the dryer runs even with nothing in it it , makes a thumping

check the inside of the drumm make sure none of the fins are loose,
but sounds more like the wheel rollers are bad, sometimes is loud when it starts then seems to go away a little after the dyer get hotter, is the heat that makes the metal bearings make less noise. u can replace the wheels,the belt an tensioner at the same time is cheaper to pruchase the kit an have it all done the first time! bad wheels put more stress on belt an eventually will break apart so just order the entire kit
