Why is it taking a long time to start popping, not popping completely, and leaving excess oil?

The motor needs to be oiled. There are places to add oil on the ends of the motor. There may be a start capacitor that needs replaced too.

Screeching noises usually mean a bearing is seized or about to seize. The fact it stalls and won't start indicates its more likely an oil pressure issue, since many car computers will shut the engine down to protect it from damage, if a low or no oil pressure condition is detected. You need to take it in ASAP and have it checked so any damage is kept to a minimum.

what is making that noise ? if it is one of your wheels , change the brakes , where is the noise coming from .I have never see a module go bad,

Screeching noise is oil on the belt. Power loss & leak sounds like a head gasket.

like your style ,want the house ?? the left turn power screech could just be the belt needs a bit mor tension ,check the oil level first though ,now as for the white smoke on starting ,WELL IGNORE IT this is caused by the automatic excess fuel cold start device and the smoke is a light grey not white but it appears like this as you see light through it making it look white .This is normal on a cold morning it doesnt need new filters or the codes read or a tranny flush or the pigs tails brushing just leave alone ,check the steering fluid level use ATF to top up or hydraulic oil then if still screeches tighten the belt unless its a one big one in whick case it may need a new tensioner or just leave it alone its not a major problem as yet .Must tell the other mechanics in the pueblo this morning as we congregate in marias bar for brekkie and coffee and tell tall tales but this one will take the biscuit thats for sure .

ok,,il be blunt,,,throw it away,,its past its best,,to have it fixed would be costly so do yourself a faver and just buy a new unit,,,,then show it off to all your friends,,,like look what iv got,,,eat your hart out!!!
it would be the cheapest way out of this

A screeching or squealing noise usually comes from the fan motor. There may be an oil port and you can buy a small telescoping oil bottle at a super hardware store or an a/c supply house. Before putting in he oil, remember to TURN OFF THE POWER TO THE UNIT and only use a light squeeze on the bottle - over oiling will cause a mess inside the motor. It may be a sealed motor and no oil ports. In either case, budget for a new motor as if it's to the squealing stage, the bearings are already damaged and it's a just matter of time before before the motor bearings fail. If possible, get oil on the bearings ASAP - and use the proper lightweight oil for made for this application.

The following link explains the problem you are having with your Maytag:

It is common for the brakes on Maytag top loaders to wear and make noise, as well, as the snubber. There is a helpful tip that you can try to quieten the noise if it is the snubber. DO NOT oil it, or lubricate with any petroleum based products! This will ruin the unit and actually make the problem worse. NOTE: If the snubber is excessively worn, it was also cause vibration on the spin cycle.

If the brakes are worn, however, you can put a light film of oil on the brake pad. It is common for the pad to collect moisture in humid and damp climates and start to squeak against the brake stator. The brake pad consists of a rotor with a leather edge (pad). The leather can absorb moisture and begin to squeak against the brake stator. Oiling it slightly will get rid of the noise.

Confused? If you have questions, please let me know. I hope you find this information useful.

NOTE: There is a follow-up comment at the bottom of the link I provided from another user. The method this person used to release the tension on the brake can save you from having to purchase the brake release tool.

just take it to ur local dealer they will replace it or fix it.

TAKE THE DRYER APART USE A LITTLE MOTOR OIL TO GREASE ALL SHAFTS ON IDLER PULLEY AND USE A BIT OF VASALINE ON THE REAR BEARING ON THE BACK OF THE DRUM THIS SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE GRINDING NOISE
