Magtag Neptune Dryer - when I press start it say
sounds like a bad control board it seems like you have a letter missing in your model number ...I looked up the part ouch ..http://www.repairclinic.com/vwo1/Maytag-Dryer-Model-MDE5500AYW-ID-563862-Circuit-Board-Timer-Parts?s=t-mde550ay-%3d%3dd563862b4a8c13
Start button does not kick the dryer on
Looks like your drive motor is locked up. It has an internal overload switch which cuts power off when motor gets too hot...Replacement of the motor on a used dryer is probably not the best choice as it can be quite pricey..

We have the same machine. The drum also broke so we had it professionally installed. It wasn't done well enough and after the 90 day repair warranty, other problems developed. We still don't have a dryer and the next repair is $500 as other parts were damaged and we didn't catch it within the 90 days.
Bottom line: do have it professionally installed but be sure to ask about their work guarantee. As soon as you have any problem at all, call them back.
Dryer heats randomly..Igniter is working.
Generally operation when cold that worsens with use indicates a component that is failing when hot. Start at the burner with the coils and work your way back to relays on the control. Sounds a lot like a bad coil on the burner. I have seen these do 2 complete loads then fail. Setting over night and cooling off will work again the same way. Intermittent conditions are a real challenge sometimes.

Dryer has continuous faint beep
Have you had a power surge or power go out when the machine was running-----electronics go coo coo when this happens---it may be resolved by unplugging the dryer for a couple of days---then plug it back in & see if it does it again----another issue if the electronics get wet some how roof leak spilled water/fluid--hose replaced on washer which is usually next to the dryer---also check your owners manual to see if this is an issue do to a malfunction of electronics sending a code to check for an issue--that's all I dream up for now--sorry I couldn't do better
