The motor is the hardest working part in the dryer. The motor is use to turn the belt and the belt turns the tumbler.

Another job that the motor performs is to open & close the centrifugal switch. The centrifugal switch opens the circuit to the heating element when the motor is not running and close the circuit when the motor is running

The motor also runs the blower wheel to circulate the air inside of the dryer to dry the clothes
 

The major problem with the motor is overheating. The major cause for the motor overheating is lint covering the windings and preventing air from blowing through the windings to cool them down

The motor could be tested with a home made test cord connected between terminals 4 & 5 on the motor

The easiest way to learn how to test the motor is by seeing how it is done. Assuming that the motor is bad because it won't start could be a time consuming and costly action

You should know for sure that the motor is bad before deciding to replace it.
