It sounds like you have a broken belt. Since it has run long enough to wear out the belt it needs cleaning, too. You need to totally tear it down and scrape out and wash all of the parts except the motor, which you vacuum out. You can go to YouTube to see videos on how to take it apart, but do a very good job or it will fail again quickly. Get some white lithium grease and grease any bearings you find. You need to clean out a drier every two years, at least, according to the manuals.

Just get it out into your garage or somewhere you will have plenty of space. Pop the top and unplug the wiring harness, then you can see where the screws are that hold on the front. You will need to unplug the door switch. You should lay it on its back to make it easier to work on before pulling off front. Make sure to clean it very well and don't miss the duct on the door going to filter or the other ducts in the rear, and the blower wheel and housing which is very, very important. A clog of cement-like lint build up can hide anywhere. Don't be afraid to take apart anything to be able to look inside and clean it. One missed place will necessitate doing all this again and no one wants to redo something. Grease all support rollers with white lithium grease and reassemble and you have a new dryer. Here are some manuals: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...l%20Dryers.zip https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...e%20Manual.pdf You should check the safeties out before reassembling it to make sure you have not also blown one open.

We just had a new Whirlpool Cabrio washer and dryer (electric) installed today. I dried some towels and noticed an unusually loud humming and vibrating sound. I wouldn't expect this from a product with a "very good" noise rating rated by consumer reports. It's much louder than my old 17 year old...

A sponge fell down the opening of the "lint catcher" while it was out because I was removing back up lint. While the lint catcher fits back in, I do not know if it is dangerous to leave the sponge down there, and if so, I do not know how to get it out--tried with a hanger but couldn't catch on to...
