It was not a large load and when I started the dryer I noticed that there was no sound of clothes tumbling for them to dry. I opened the door and sure enough the clothes had not moved. The heating element works fine. The inside drum does not seem to be rotating? What does that mean?

I think on this model you can flip open the top by releasing two clips by placing a putty knife or screw drive in the gap between the front and top near the edges. The top should flip up, and you will notice the absence of a belt around the drum.
