It sounds like the commutator is sparking. It means that the carbon brushes have worn down or broken and the spring that keeps pressure on the brushes is now rubbing on the commutator. Do not operate the dryer because it will only damage it further. See if the manufacturer has a parts list for the model you have. Look for a part that is called 'brushes'. They are easy to replace. If you find the parts, check the price of them as compared to a new hair dryer. Sometimes replacement parts are more expensive that the original equipment.

What is wrong with a gas dryer if you smell lighter fluid during drying?
lots of things.. omg get rid of it before it blows up!
Can you change a dryer plug to fit a regular wall plug?
Different plugs are designed so that you can't plug an appliance into the wrong voltage. A dryer is usually 220-240 Volts and your standard outlet is 110-120 Volts. You can't do what you suggest.
Will a dryer run but not heat heat if the circuit is hooked up wrong?
Depending on the connection this scenario could happen. The 240 volt heating element of a dryer is connected to the two outside terminals on the dryers terminal strip. Also in this circuit is a thermal cut out that will open the circuit should the internal mechanisms of the dryer get too hot. The motor connection and the controls of the dryer are 120 volts. This means that the voltage is obtained from one of the 240 volt legs and the neutral connection on the dryers terminal strip. This connection is in between the two outside 240 volt connection points on the terminal strip. On a four wire dryer cord the fourth wire is the ground and should go directly to the chassis lug on the dryers frame. Turn off the breaker or unplug the dryer from its receptacle and check your wiring. Red and black wires on the outside terminals on the dryers terminal strip. It makes no difference whether red is on the left or right terminal. The white (neutral) wire is on the terminal between the two red and black or black and red wires depending on how you placed them on the terminal strip. The ground wire of course will be connected to the frame of the dryer. If this is the way the connections are made inside of the dryer it should work. If any work has been done on the wall receptacle make sure that the wire on the receptacle match the wiring inside the dryer.
What is wrong with your electric dryer that will not get hot?
You probably need a new heating element. Fortunately, they aren't that expensive. <<>> Check and make sure that the lint trap is clean. There are over temperature thermal trips at strategic points in the dryer. These are self resetting when the temperature inside the unit cools down. If you have a continuity tester or an ohm meter, unplug the dryer. Take the back off and look for the electric element. Remove one wire from the element terminal and see if there is continuity through the element. If there is no reading its time to buy a new one. If there is continuity leave the dryer all stripped apart and call an appliance repairman. Explain what you tested and found and would like to finish the job yourself. Get them to find the open circuit and tell them that you will close the machine up.
