Does air blow out the back of the dryer when this happens? If it does, the belt has probably broken. If not, this test can be done to check the motor. Open the door and tape the door switch in the shut position. Start the dryer and rotate the drum. Does the drum start turning? If it does, the motor has failed. Here are links to each part.
