Dryer makes a loud noise then stops

more than likely your water valve has failed or is clogged up. You should still at least hear a humming noise when you turn it on.

I suspect the blower wheel that mounts to the motor shaft is loose and needs replacing.

Hello,
The problem with it not drying is most likely going to be a worn out blower wheel thats slipping and not moving the warm air through the clothes to dry them properly. Always a pretty good sign the blower is slipping is,if you hear a rumble noise from the dryer at start up and also that same rumbling noise when the power stops. So if you hear it at start up...wait 30 seconds and open the door and listen for the rumble noise as drum stops. also you can check where the vent exits the house and see if their is air flow when the dryer is running.

My Maytag Performa gas clothes dryer makes a scratching noise for the first few minutes when turned on, then it goes away.

Hi,

It sounds like a faulty roller under the drum. Need to pop the top of the dryer, then remove the front -- you'll probably easily spot the faulty part.

Not really

could be motor put oil on back baring aka rollers

i would oil or replace the drum rollers this is normally the culprit

I had the same problem, take the easy rout first and check for obstructions in your venting. Mine was clogged and it shut itself down (to protect itself?)
