My malleys heavy duty 1050 wont tumble.

I could not find much info on your dryer, but there is probably a belt that goes from the motor and wraps around the drum. If the drum is not rotating, the belt may be broken.

The dryer tumbles but does not heat. There is no

If you dry a lot, you may need heating coils. Heavy loads such as jeans and towels will put a premature stress on those coils.

Dryer wont tumble when loaded.

check for a "glazed" drum belt or a broken "idler" pulley near or on the motor that keeps the belt tight on the drum

I have an Amana model NDG7800AW. A few weeks ago

The roller to the belt tensioner is binding causing to make the warbling noise.The bearing needs to be replaced which comes with the roller. A new belt is advisable as well when replacing. The stalling problem could be also from the belt being stretched or the timer relay is weak

GE Gas Dryer wont run

You had a loose belt. Now you have a broken belt. You can buy a new belt at most hardware stores including Lowes & HD.

They are fairly easy if you are handy.

Remove cover, look for diagram showing belt alighnment (if equiped, some are so simple they don't need one) remove shredded belt and install new.

Dont forget to unplug it first.

Dryer Noise

You need to have you belt replaced. Over time the belt will strech.
this causes the dryer to still spin but the belt will sometimes loose the grasp of the drum and cause the belt to spin only.

This happens because over time with heavy loads of towles and jeans pull down on the drum as it is being loaded. Than when in cycle the jeans will drop from the top to the bottom pulling aginst it even more..

Kenmore heavy duty dryer

You didn't mention if the motor runs or if it heats. If it does both of these, you'll need a new belt.
