1 Yr Old Wgd8200yw Dryer Does Not Dry Clothes

Dryer will start the fire and heat, but no air flows out the exhaust. I have removed the external vent plumbing. I think the blower motor is not running.  Is the motor internal to the blower housing?  I do not see a pulley or wires to the housing?  Any suggestions?
