Is the dryer gas or electric?

I think you may have 2 problems
If electric!!
Your heater should not work unless the motor is running.
If you look at the wiring diagram, the motor's 2 switches are centrifugal switches.
They close when the motor gets up to speed.
You will notice that the bottom switch supplies power to your heater

Therefore your heater is getting power some other way.
The usual cause of this is that the heater coil is touching the case.
You will have to open the unit up or possibly just open the back up to check this.
Make sure to unplug the machine before doing this.

I think the motor not running is a different problem
Could be one of the Thermal Fuses is blown
