Hi. Last week my basement flooded with a foot and a half of sewage water and now my whirlpool ler4634pqo dryer is not functioning. When I push the start putton it runs, but as soon as I let go it turns off. The drum rotates and all the controls seem to work but it wont stay on. This link shows a diagram of my dryer.

My guess is that the motor is blown, but I am no pro by any means. And advice? Would it be worth ordering a new motor? Thanks!
