You need to check the drum belt. With dryer empty, reach in and give it a spin. If the belt is good, it will stop in 1/2 turn or less when released. If the belt broke, it will spin almost a full turn.

does everything shut off or just heat if its just heat but motor works and drum is turning than-quickest sulotion would be cleaning the vents from the dryer and out through the wall or window whereever your vent goes. the reason it turns off is because it has a limit thermostat that turns off at about 150 degrees so when the vents are clogged the hot air cant escape anywhere so it stays in dryer and overheats quickly take off the vent in the back than turn on your dryer if it doesnt turn off clean your vents

if everything stops working than you most likely have a bad motor
good luck  feel free to reply with any questions

Have you checked the belt? That's generally the problem when a dryer stops spinning.

You probably need to check your dryers drum glides Reach inside and try to turn the drum. It should be VERY easy to turn. If it seems stiff it probbaly needs new glides.

ok you need to change the belt take model number off machine go to appliance shop get replacement belt open front of dryer belt goes around drum around pulley on motor then under tentioner pulley thank you for useing fixya please rate me

The problem dosen't sound like the motor. Check to see if the drive belt is loose and slipping. This is the usual cause of the problem you describe. If not, the bearings for the drum may be going bad. The heating elements should turn off shortly if the drum stops so there is little danger of overheating.
