CHIRPING CLOTHES DRYER

I had this happen with a maytag washing machine. The repair guy replaced a board and it worked fine. I'm afraid that's what happened here.

if you go to this site there is a install video for your belt and model...

hope this helps
cheers!

The blower wheel on these tends to wallow out. That makes the dryer overheat and take twice as long to dry the clothes. Lint begins to build up in the filter housing. Finally the temp exceeds 350 and the round white fuse on the blower housing melts. Boom you has got a dead dryer. To get into the slopefront type dryer seems a bit intimidating bit really is not. Remove the door. The door is reverseable so 2 more screws opposide need to also be removed. Then the goalpost shaped front pops off. Then that reveals the top hold down straps. Remove them and top can be popped. Next you remove the front shroud the drum rides on. then get the drum out. Did I mention you do not work from the back at all on this model? Do not try to fix it in the wash room. Take it ouitside and put it on the picnic table or a tailgate to repair it. You will need a phillips head screwdrivers pliers 1/4 and 5/16 nutdriver and snapring pliers.
Shopvac to clean it up and probbaly a new fuse and blower wheel.

You have the belt on wrong. There is a side with numbers or writing on it and ribbed side like treads. The tread side should be facing down, making contact with the drum. If the other side is touching the drum then whenever clothes are put in the belt will slip causing the drum not to

My Maytag Performa gas clothes dryer makes a scratching noise for the first few minutes when turned on, then it goes away.

Most of the time the dryer blower wheel part number 53-0106 gets loose and and cause this problem. I fixed one just the other day.

I would think it might be the "board" but I once went on a call for the same chirp on an oven...ended up being the smoke detector was low on battery..it cost them $$ for me to find that simple thing.

Could be 2 things... either your heat source is out of repair or your vent is blocked. Since you say it only gets warm I'll assume the problem is with the gas coils inside the unit. These parts are replaceable

Check drive belts. If too loose or too worn it will not spin at proper speed.

is dryer drum turning u might be amotor are some other problem you may want to call a service tech to fix your dryer ok
