Here is the parts breakdown
Replacement parts for General Electric DS4500EB0WW Electric dryer | AppliancePartsPros.com

The unit has a belt break switch (Item 803 in Section 1) perhaps this is not closing for some reason or it is shot.

Here is a wiring diagram for a typical GE unit. It probably does not match your unit exactly but will give you an idea of how the above switch is wired in.

When the motor gets close to operating speed the centrifugal switch (M5/M6) closes.
This removes the start motor's winding from the circuit as the motor will overheat if it is left in circuit.
It also provides an alternate/parallel circuit path through the belt switch for the start switch so that you can release the start switch and the unit continues to run.
