@bean093 any tag anything at all that may give us an idea about what model this might be (check the door/frame and back of it)? Post some good pictures of what this all looks like with your QUESTION. That might help us with that.
The squeals could have been a bearing or the belt. You did they it was still spinning so we can check that later. There are quite a few things that can cause the no heat situation. this could e from a bad heating element, to bad thermostat, failed thermal fuse and a fe more. If we cannot identify it by model we definitely need you to be our eyes and hands. so get ready for some picture taking time :-) Pictures can only be added to the QUESTION or answer but not in comments.
