Maytag Med850wr Vent Fan Not Spinning Underneath.

Dryer is not drying clothes in last few weeks without extensive time.  Checked the lint trap (cleaned after every use), checked the vent outside per the users manual and no air flow after 10min.  Pulled dryer out, removed vent and started dryer, can see that the paddle looking fan underneath is not spinning.  Do you have a PN for that fan?
