Your dryer doesnt have a fuse. Your home breaker panel is the only protection it has..Check your circuit breaker box for a tripped breaker.

Update: I tried again and now the dryer is going. It seems to be heating fine but smells a little "burn-y" (I can't thing of a better word, sorry!) I haven't even finished one load yet so I don't know if it will keep working or not. Seems like it was maybe overheating? The guy at the Maytag repair store said it sounds like a bearing on the engine is going out and I need a new engine. It seems like other people on here have had similar problems and had it be much simpler. PLEASE HELP!!
another update: I cleaned all the lint and replaced the exhaust pipe thing in back since it had gotten partially crushed. Since it was running when I tested it earlier I hooked it all back up and tried but it was doing the same thing as originally posted. Do I just need to buy that new engine?
