i would say your better off repairing your old maytag because my grandmother had a a dryer that lasted 40 years with out a single repair on it and replace it in fall 2010 and i am pretty sure that with your repaired maytag you could get another good 10 to 20 years use out of it as well here is a pic of the 40 year old dryer i am talking about even if its not a maytag but it will show that it was the longest lasting dryer ever from the 70 to 2010 lol

Sounds like a motor problem, especially if it came to life after shaking the pump belt. If you have the round style motor, it can be disassembled and finding/fixing the problem is a possibility. I believe all Maytag washers had the sealed square style motors by 1975 and on, so it's very unlikely that you have one.
If you get a replacement motor, go for the beefier 201666 (2-1666) 2 speed motor instead of the 201807. There's one on ebay right now for a decent price. CLICK HERE TO GO TO qsd-dan's LINK on eBay | ||

I have a 606, and I also suggest replacing the motor. They are a dependable machine, and will probably last much longer than the crap that is out there now.
