I have a amana gas dryer model#alg866saw. It started making a bunch of noise like it was unbalanced or something. Finally it stopped and just stopped. I tried to restart the cycle and it was only humming when I tried to get it to start. Then if I kept pressing it would attempt to turn making a bunch of noise as if unbalanced. Finally some smoke came out and it stopped altogether. Anyone have any suggestions what might be the problem?
