You have probably overloaded the dryer and possibly broken the drum belt which drives the rotation of the tub. I opened the top of the dryer and fished mine out. Then took it to a store which sold parts for my dryer, brought it home and was able to repair it myself. It operates by the pulley system which rests on the floor of the dryer. There is a schematic drawing which comes with the replacement part which is not too difficult to understand. You might want to get someone to help you who is mechanically inclined.

Could be a belt or a motor. A great place check for repair information and parts is www.repairclinic.com. Most Maytag Dryers are pretty simple to fix. Don't give up on the unit.

I thought Maytag appliances were dependable. That is why their repairmen have nothing to do.

So it wont turn inside? Open the door and turn the drum by hand a half turn or so. then close the door and try to start it again. could be a bad spot in the motor. good luck.
