Greetings,
If the motor is running. I'm guessing the belt came off or split and fell off...unplug dryer and remove two screws from lint filter area. Then pop up top using a putty knife or other flat tool to pry up at front corners..once top up. Remove two screws inside front corners. Its now possible to remove front. The drum is exposed and the belt will either be laying on floor of dryer or still on drum..if not on floor..you can reinstall belt. if off, you will need new belt. install belt on tub. There is a belt pulley that fits in line with motor shaft. This usually falls off..reinstall it in the slot for it and loop belt around pulley to put pressure on belt and install belt onto motor shaft. reinstall front and top...there are links to show how belt goes on...google whirlpool dryer belt install
Most electric dryers are 220V and are essentially 2 -110V circuits.. You should have either 2 circuit breakers or two fuses supplying the power to the dryer . One is probably tripped or blown. Either reset the breaker or replace the defective fuse and you should be in bussiness!
The automatic preheat and drying cycle kicks in as the final wash spin is under- way. The system employs a condenser dryer in which the hot air used to dry the clothes is channeled into a drum, instead of being released into the great outdoors via a dry vent hose. Cold water is drawn into the drum at the same time. The two mix, and the result is a condensing process.
The chlothes should be dry. there may be a damp feeling to them but otherwise dry. If your machine is not drying then the element could be going bad, or a thermal cutoff. those would be the easyiest fixes.
The BIG drawback is drying. It takes about 90 minutes to dry a load, and the clothes come out very wrinkled. Because the drum is so small, the clothes don't 'toss' in heated air and don't fluff at all. Clothes also come out stiffer than a regular dryer.
