Whirlpool Dryer Drum Won't Work

The drum stopped turning, but there was still a buzzing sound when pushing the start button. The belt felt loose at the belt idler so I replaced the belt. The drum still wouldn’t turn. Tried turning the motor by hand & couldn’t do it. Had someone push the start button as I watched the motor, which only turned very slowly & erractically. Smelled something electrical burning & stopped.

Does the motor need replaced or could there be another problem?

Sounds like the motor has gone bad.
