Dryer isn't venting the dryer air. All vents are clean. Guessing it's the blower motor or wheel. Should I fix it or just go buy a new dryer?

Try to be less specific and he'll be able to help you.

Blower wheel is really easy to replace if you go that route. I replaced mine about 4 months ago and it took no time.

I just wanted to take any opportunity to brag about myself, not subtly either. I have a washer dryer combo in my closet and the dryer was squeaking. I thought about getting rid of the set, because I don't use them as much as I used to. Instead, I watched a video and ordered the parts from Parts Select. I changed out the drum support rollers, the roller shafts and the drum belt for $75.00. I'm a GIRL!!!!!!
p.s. This combo set belonged to my husband, so I don't know how old it is. At some point the line that runs inside the dryer to the vent that goes outside became detached. OMG the whole dryer cabinet was completely full of lint.

with the vent hose off you have no air flow? Is the drum turning?
On most units the fan is attached to the motor, if the drum turns the motor is good, so the fan probably just broke.
Much cheaper to repair.
what's your model?

Parts select is a rip off, you can get a dryer maintenance kit from Amazon for $20-30. Has all that for pretty much any dryer. I would say any dryer other than a frigidaire can be DIY pretty easily.

Whirlpool model WED7300X0
Drum turns, unit heats up. But there is no air flow from the back of the dryer. Ton of moisture inside the drum too

aww man those are a pain, that dryer has a separate fan belt. Could be the fan belt, could be the fan. Have to take it apart to know for sure.
Take door off and screws on opposite side of door frame.
Remove front panel,
you should at that point be able to see if he second belt is in tact.
