At ten years I'd bet on the belt having broken. With no tension on the

You got it! My son and I got the dryer open enough to see that the
belt was broken. Then I ordered the belt and a "Do It Yourself" manual
from Sears.

It was more than a half hour of work for us (a lot of disassembly),
but we got it working again. Don't think we could have done it without
the manual. If it happens again in another ten years I'll be ready!

Thanks to all who helped.

The first one took me a bit longer than a half hour too - but the
second and third time considerably less.
