Problem
Dryer motor would not turn while control panel seemed normal
Tools
Screwdrivers (flat + Phillips), 1/4" ratchet and sockets (1/4" and 8mm), flashlight
Repair & Advice
Unplug dryer. Remove lint filter. Remove two Phillips screws in lint filter chute. Flip up top. To remove the front door, push in (from front) the retaining clip at each top corner using flat screwdriver or thin spackling blade, then lift up slightly, then pull front. To remove the frame that holds the front of the drum, loosen two screws at top (8mm heads), and remove two screws at bottom (8mm), then lift up slightly, then pull front. Place a shoebox or something similar under the front of the drum to support it temporarily (it's not heavy). To remove the drum, look with flashlight under the drum where the belt wraps around the motor's pulley and tension pulley, then pull the tension pulley's arm to slip the belt off either pulley, then remove drum. This switch is held on by two screws (1/4" heads), and two pull-off electrical connectors.

Problem
our dryer had stopped mid cycle.
Tools
flat head screw driver and two nut drivers, and a phillips screw driver and a tie down strap.
Repair & Advice
after doing everything an IT person would had suggested (restart, unplug, replug, open then close door, etc) I popped open the front (btw, this is your spoiler alert to put your appliance into diagnostic mode now to see if it will give you clues to the problem). started testing the basic switches (door, moisture, etc). all good, pulled the drum out and PING!! a small metal arm was lying by my knee, zero clue where it came from. drum out, still not seeing where it went. took that metal to a local store. no idea either. a repairman who was there did ID the part, est time was 10 days! parts Dr had it in stock and got it to me in three days! it was the tension arm switch. i used a tie down strap to hold the arm up while i replaced the switch. super simple once you get in there. ALWAYS note and even take pictures of how it came apart so you can put it back correctly. the other issue was the thermal fuse had died. less than $50 in parts, 2 hours of actual "repair" time and boom, i didn't have to go buy a new dryer!!!
