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

Check the belt that is on the drum. It sounds like it may have a chunk broken off of it and you may need to replace it.

It could be the band slipping, depending on how handy you are, you can take out the back cover and check it out while it runs. I am assuming this is an electric dryer, so taking the back cover is not so difficult, just need to figure out what type of screws it has, find the corresponding tool and take it out (make sure power is unplugged while you do this) plug it back it and let it run, you can find where the noise is coming from. If you cannot figure it out, put everything back on and then it is best to call a technician.

your belt may need to be replaced. could have a crack or missing chunk out of it making it bump as it rides over the pully.

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

Your description sounds like one or both of the rear drum supports (rollers) is bad. A quiet thumping is almost always present as the weld in the drum comes in contact with the drum supports. A binding support will squeal, and the thumping could be worse at that time. After running the dryer until the noises are present, once disassembled, you can tell if a support is bunding or rolling normally by spinning it by hand. The same goes for the idler pulley. Make sure power is disconnected from the unit befor attempting any repairs.

While the unit is disassembled for repair, make sure your your old cat is not inside.

Thumping is caused by a bad roller. Accessing the innards
