They are turned by a large belt that encompasses the entire drum... it could be getting loose, the entire machine has to come apart to find and fix the problem... there is also a spring connected to the motor for tension on the belt this could be the problem as well.

Check the drive belt and belt tensioner. From the way you describe it, the belt is loose and with a load in the drum, it will not rotate due to belt slipping.
SOURCE: Dryer just stopped working in mid cycle.
Verify there is still power at the wall and check the thermal fuse.

Have you tried cleaning off the sensor? Many of the newer dryers have a sensor that, when dirty, can no longer determine the moisture level of the clothes. Some manufacturers recommend using a light vinegar solution. Check your owners manual for location and recommended cleanier. Also, make sure your exhaust hose is clear of obstructions and that you vacuum out your lint trap area. HTH.
