Time to replace the dryer you motor is no good (or have the motor replaced

sounds like the motor is running, the belt could likely be broken and be the culprit, this is if the motor is turning for sure after you start the dryer

Sounds like a defective motor starter contactor. DO NOT continue to try to use the dryer or you'll burn the motor out. The motor starter is built into the motor, but most are replaceable without replacing the entire motor.

Could also be the motor, but sounds like the motor is stuck in 'start' mode and never goes into 'run,' which would be the classic symptom of a stuck motor start contactor.

Yes, this sounds like the motor cutting out on thermal lockout.

go to back of dryer should be a panel on back of the drier pull it off and check the belt
