I took it apart expecting to see a broken belt. It was intact. I replaced the belt anyway thinking it might just be stretched and loose. That did not fix the problem Thermal cutoff going to fix it? Thanks.

The heating element should not go On if the motor is not running. The correction is to replace the motor. - The motor Part number: AP3094245 Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for Maytag MED5800TW0 29" ELECTRIC DRYER \| AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.
