Checked online to figure out what was wrong, then went with a total one time fix.
Picked the most popular parts, ordered, and replaced the 5 parts.
Our dryer is a Maytag LDG8506AAE with the lint trap built into the door opening...WARNING..
removing the dryer top is not required on this model as shown in the videos. Just remove the 2 screws on the front panel lower right and left hand corners, then push in the spring clips and remove the front panel with a out and down motion. The tub is then removed by removing 4 screws on the front brackets There. is an access door on the back of this dryer for the belt pulley.
GOOD LUCK...
It took me 1hr. to get passed the front panel problem.....
