The dyer while still blowing hot air, the drum will stop turning it come back on sometime but will not turn a normal load of clothes. Is the motor or pulley going out???
You will need to replace the motor. Here is the new motor to order.
SOURCE: Gas dyer won't start, have to kick start it.
If your bearing,glides, and idler are all fine then your motor is gone.
You could apply some zoomoil to that motor but you will have to drill some access holes as the manufacturer does not provide any. For $150 bucks a pop I would try a $2 bottle of High temp zoomoil from ace hardware first.Use a 1/6th inch drill bit and do not hit the shaft. The bearing wells are on either side of the motor and you will have to take the drum out to get to the motor. To access the dryer innards open the door and remove the screws holding down the top. Get the top out yer way and remove the front. Get the drum out and clean out the dryer. Send me any folding money you find. LOL You may find enough change in the dryer to buy some oil. Zoomoil is use for HVAC. It is heat resistant and does not disapate. After filling each bearing work the motor by hand till it loosens up. Oil the idler check the slides and the rear bearing for wear.

SOURCE: TRY TO START DYER AND IT JUST HUMS
The belt may have broken, otherwise you have to use a multimeter to troubleshoot the problem.
SOURCE: The dryer drum will not turn, even manually with the belt removed
Sounds like something became wedged against the drum. Maybe a bearing?
You need to check to see if something is caught in the blower or the motor and keeping it from turning.
