This will be bearing noise, the front of the drum uses a felt strip as a bearing and this can wear causing a metal on metal grinding sound, or it could be the rear bearing. You need to dismantle it to investigate further.

We have a Defy DTD315 tumble dryer. The power is on. When you press start, your hear the starting noise, but the drum never starts to turn. Almost if it is stuck somewhere?

Most common fault is broken or snapped drive belt. Control wise, most dryers will not spin if the control system detects that the door is not fully closed or properly locked. And also when the drain valve failed to open.
