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

you will have to open up the panel to check where the smell comes from. It could be on the motor which may cause also a loud noise or from the electrical, loose connection or bad relay may cause a noise of a different kind.

Hi, this is a belt issue. make sure the tension on the belt/motor is sufficient. adjust to specs. if the belt is fine, this will be bad bearings in the roller assembly.

Replace the rollers in this case.

Sounds like you need a blower wheel.you will need to remove the front panel and the houseing under the front panel.It is located on the bottom front laft side. if you need help on assembly or disassembly let me know hope i fixya :)

you have a bad tub seal asm. remove agitator, spin basket and tub asm. remove seal and install new one. good luck

sounds like the bearings on your motor are going bad
