Why is my tumble dryer turning slow?

My tumble dryer is turning very slowly. It seems to be struggling to get going. I tried to help it along, thinking that it might be the capasitor on the motor, but it didn't help. I removed the drum and let the motor run on it's own, same thing. I think the tumble dryer turns both ways. Could it be a control problem or is the motor stuffed(or capasitor)?
