Dryer thinks it's running but drum is not spinning

I press power on the dryer and it turns on fine. You press start and you hear a click and a few seconds later another click. The clicks come from the box on the top left side of the dryer. The front control panel indicates that it is running.
I have checked the belt, the kill switch spring, the door switch and the 2 thermal fuses attached to the side of the heating element box. All meter readings on the above items had a value of 0 and .01 on the door switch. I have also metered the power running into the dryer and it is fine too. I tried replacing the front control panel but made no difference. Any other ideas or are there any other fuses to check? :confused:

I'm having the exact same problem, right down to the clicks. It's a Samsung dv419aew/xaa. Did you figure out what it was?

I have a dv330aeb but have the same exact issue. Thermostats all check below 1ohm, thermister reads 11k ohms, heater checked OK, belt cut off switch also checked fine in both positions. Motor wiring diagrams in manual which was frustrating. The only thing I found was the continuity there is 2ohm for both pins 3-4 (sb 2.88) and pins 4-5 (sb 3.5). I once got the right value of 2.9ohms but couldn't get it again.
I'm leaning toward a bad motor but the values aren't that far off so I feel like and don't want to order a motherboard and motor.

I can't remember exactly what I replaced on mine, but it was an easy fix, just one little sensor, screwed to some kind of manifold toward the front bottom of my machine. I seem to remember it being a thermistor. If yours is reading 11k ohms, sounds like that could be it. Good luck!
