Our Maytag Dryer PYE2000AYW suddenly stopped with a loud thud and a very strong burning smell was coming from it.

Possibly something in blower housing. If bound would case belt to burn on motor pulley.

I think you are right. How can I check to see?

Pop the top and then remove front panel. Blower housing is right there. Don't be surprised when you see a snake or rat.

Or the wheel itself loose. Typical of these dryers.
