Looked up inside and I can barely see the blower fan. When I power on, the fan doesnt turn. For about a week previously, it would dry the clothes but make a grinding sound.

Perhaps the blower belt has broken. I would also check the blower as it may have something in it or it may have a mechanical problem. Now all you have to do is figure out how to open it up. Perhaps someone else has worked on one of these. May be the following will have some clues. http://www.applianceaid.com/dryers.html
