If a Frigidaire 1-18 dryer is heating but not turning the drum, what does that mean? hard or easy to fix?

Sounds like a belt issue to me...can you hear the motor running? It's easy to see if it's the belt just by taking the back panel off. A very gracious member of this site just helped me locate a replacement belt for my 1-18 dryer (in addition to finding a replacement element!). I'm assuming the part number he gave me would probably work for you as well. Mine 1-18 set is from 1976.

Part number

The belt part # is 5300638957. I already installed the element and don't know the part number...but it sounds like all you need is a new belt and you should be ready to tumble!
