Maytag performa dryer model #PYET344AYW wont stay running

Replaced thermal fuse twice in a month, now the dryer won't stay running when turned on, and the smell is a horrible burning smell...could it be the motor?

    The smell is electrical, tumbler seems harder to turn as well (when manually turned) timer is also working.

It sounds like your belt needs to be replaced. You're smelling the melting (burning) rubber.

Dryer does not start - Thermal Fuse is ok.

Good to know, when the appliance does not start at all is always thermal fuse, wiring, door lock switch, or rarely the control assembly.

Have a nice day.
