Sounds like your capacitor has stopped functioning. Most dryers have capacitors ranging from 8 to 10 ohms which store energy and give the drum the initial energy boost to start it turning. Unplug the machine and take off the side that contains the motor. in there you will find a small cylindrical object with two connections, thats your capacitor, replace it

Limit thermostat , heres how you check thermostats Set your multimeter to the R X 1 setting. Take each of your meter's probes and touch one to each terminal. You are testing for continuity, and you should receive a reading of either zero or infinity. At room temperature, testing the thermostat should produce a reading of zero. But if a thermostat is tested when it is heated to its limit, a reading of infinity should be produced. I strongly recommend that you test your thermostat at room temperature.

Did you replace the thermal limiter fuse inside the cabinet near the motor? It is likely burned out. Contact the repairclinic.com for the part or Sears.
Testimonial: "Thanks, Dennis solved the problem, now the dryer is super hot any suggestions?"
