Assuming your dryer blower does run, then you must have one of the phases dropping out. Check all electrical connections at the breaker or fuse box, dryer receptacle, and wiring going into the dryer. If your blower runs, then your neutral is probably okay. Check one of the "hot" leads. I suspect one has come loose, or wasn't fastened at all.
Maybe the fuse in the plug or in the machine itself has blown.

Don't understand this question. If the breaker is on, then the dryer would function normally, if the breaker your are referring to is the one for the dryer. If the breaker is off then no function. A dryer runs on 220.
None of the above. Please don't get trapped in that mindset that you must have an appliance to dry your clothes. For one thing, a dryer, gas or electric, beats the crap out of your clothes! Yes they give it a nice, easy, gentle name.....they call it "tumbling" but really it's beating the crap out of your clothes. Look at the lint that comes out of the lint trap next time you clean it. That was part of your clothes. How many times do you think you can do this to your clothes? Soon there will be nothing left of them, maybe you can knit a sweater from the lint you have collected. Folks, the best clothes dryer in the world is a piece of rope and some wooden spring clamps (clothespins) I would suggest hanging your clothes in a shaded area, as direct sun will fade colors over time. You can also hang them inside, like in the basement, or a spare bedroom. Your clothes will not dry as fast as with a dryer, of course, BUT..... after the initial cost of the rope and clothespins, it is free. There's your efficiency that you are wanting, right there! In the winter you are already heating the air in your home, and the moisture from the clothes is usually much needed. A clothes dryer is one of the biggest energy-suckers you have in your home, and then what happens to all that hot and moist air??? it gets blown outside of course. But that is another discussion topic. Do yourself a big favor, and air dry your clothes, they will last longer, and you will save a heap of money. yes, it may be inconvenient at times, but a great man once said, "In order to conserve, we must be inconvenienced to some degree." Now to answer your question properly, that is, if electric or gas are the only allowed answers, and by "most efficient" you don't mean least expensive, In both cases, efficiency is affected by airflow, or lack of airflow. Keep the filters clear of lint. One by-product from the combustion of liquified petroleum (propane) is water.... moisture.... so just from burning the gas to make heat your are taking away some of the hot air's ability to absorb moisture. in that regard, gas is less efficient, but just to a slight degree. Electricity is 100% efficient at the point of use, your home, but one must think about, how efficient was the electric plant that produced the electricity... and how effieciently was this power transmitted to your home? but. i guess that is neither here nor there, since the electricity you pay for is measured as it goes into your house wiring, so the electric company in the end pays for the inefficiency of it generating and distribution network. but still, something to think about. So to answer the question.................Electric............definitely ELECTRIC :)
If your house has 220vac each leg should have at least 110vac so if you use an electric dryer you would have 110 vac to each leg to run the dryer for outlets and switches it would be the same 110vac volts alternating current to operate electrial devices and to turn the lights on and off.
No, they turn it off at the electric meter on the exterior wall of your house. Depending on the type of meter you have, they may also be able to turn it off at the central plant. State laws may apply during extreme temperatures, but in general, you must pay your electric bill.

It's just because pockets can turn inside out from the action of the dryer. Some clothes dry best if they are put into the dryer inside out anyway.
If the clothes have gems or anything that can come off then yes
A regular clothes dryer is meant to be used the right side up. If you turn it upside down it is likely to malfunction.
because the dryer is caused by movement of charged particals.
Option A) - Go to the laundromat with a handful of quarters, buy some detergent, place the clothes in the washer. Put the coins in, wash the clothes. Remove the clothes and place them in the dryer. Place coins in the slot, turn the dryer on, minding the drying labels on the clothes. Option B) - Do the above at home/at a friends for free.

that happens with all dryers. they turn on then turn off during the washes

Wash your clothes like normal, but don't put them in the dryer. After you wash them, hang them up or lay them out to dry.
That is because the wrong detergent is being used in the Maytag. Try a laundry detergent that is "whitening", like Cheer, for instance.
