Dryer not spinning

A dryer may run but fail to heat, heat normally but take too long, or stop operating before the cycle is complete.
Clothes may remain completely cold, feel slightly warm or take much longer than normal to reach the expected level of dryness.
The dryer may start without turning, make a new sound while rotating, or stop drum movement during the cycle.
Longer drying times, damp clothes or unusual heat can help describe how the dryer is operating.
