It sounds as thou the dryer drive belt has either broke or slipped off the motor drive pulley.
To determine which is the case, you'll need to unplug the dryer from the wall outlet (safety first!) OR turn off the gas valve too. Now pull out the dryer so you can remove the rear service access panel at the bottom of the dryer. Once you've removed the access panel, get down and look into the dryer with a flashlight and see if you can see the electric motor. Now see if you can see the drive belt around the motor pulley, or if the belt is broken and has fallen into this compartment.
If the belt is not on the pulley, grab hold of it and see if you can spin/rotate it around the drum, if you can do this all the way around, the belt is likely still good (check for damage as you slide the belt around).
You should be able to get the belt onto one side of the pulley and with your hand, carefully rotate the motor drive pulley to get the belt back on the drive pulley.
If the belt is broken, you'll need to install a new drive belt, which will take some further instructions to perform and will be made eaisier if you can provide the full model number for your dryer.
Hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!
I appreciate your post, Joe Ivey!
From the information you have provided your Frigidaire dryer is leaking water inside the tub when clothes are drying. It sounds like your water valve may be leaking. You may want to have a professional technician out to your home to properly diagnosis your dryer this will help to avoid any unnecessary part purchases or future issues. Hopefully this was helpful. -Matt
