I have a maytag performa model number 35-5369 it is now making a loud noise and won't spin. Should I trash it or try to fix it ?

Where is the heating element in my kenmore elite dryer

Griff, it is fixable but depending on age and what repair is needed determins whether you want to repair or replace. If you are handy and can repair yourself might not be too bad.

Kenmore, the element will be on the back side or in the front side lower right depending on model
