Dryer model leq8000hq0 whirlpool won't spin. I can spin drum by hand and the belts are not broken. I am not sure what to look for next. Any ideas would be helpful.

Is the motor spinning? Is the belt on the pulley under the drum? Sometimes there is s microswitch attached to the same pulley and they go bad?

Door switch? Does it click by hand?

Dryer starts for a second or two then cuts off. I guess its because it is not spinning. Door switch is good. Sounds like it is bound but it spins freely.
