After watching a video on how to get a view of the belt, it is indeed in tact (albeit as old as the dryer probably 14 years and likely ought be replaced?). So I gave the tub a spin by hand (it was not easy to spin but I got it to turn about one full revolution). So I plugged it back in, and it started working. For what it's worth it squeaks a bit when turning so things probably need lubed or bearings need replaced also Any ideas? Thanks.

Could be the motor or the bearings etc. that support the drum. Perhaps try manually turning the drum in the correct direction on a couple other units to get a feel for it. You will have to open it up to see what is wrong.
