But as soon as I let go of the button the machine stops tumbling. If I hold the button in, it continues to run, but no heat.

It would affect motor running and heat, otherwise, you have two different problems. I would test or jump out the belt switch and hi limit thermostat. If motor still won't stay running, definitely the motor switch which requires replacing the motor. GE WE17M24 Motor & Pulley Assembly - AppliancePartsPros.com Eric
