** My first instinct is to replace the elements, but I don’t know where to go for parts. **

You can read what information is usually required to get replacement parts for your appliances in the ‘Repair Parts’ section of my site linked below. Other than that, you’d just have to pick replacements out of a catalog going by dimensions or taking the originals to a local appliance part supplier to see if they can match something up.

** 1) How likely is it that the motor was the original problem? **

Fairly.

** 2) Could there be another problem other than the motor? **

As long as the motor isn’t physically jammed somehow, I can’t think of anything which would stop it from turning besides a problem is in the motor itself.

** ) Is it cost effective to replace the drive motor? **

If the rest of the dryer is in good shape, usually.
