It will start now but only if you give it a spin with your hand while pushing the start button. The motor turns freely with the belt off and will run for a long period of time without getting hot. It just wont re-start without spinning the drum. Everything else seems to work fine. Anybody got an idea for me to try?

The dryer needs a new motor. - The part number for the motor is AP4295548 Here are the break down diagrams for the GE dryer Model DDE6500GAL Gene.
