It is unlikely that you can fix it in an hour. Are you sure it gets hot? If so, the breakers are okay.
It tumbles so the motor is working. Take off the hose coming from the back. Is there air blowing out of it? If so, reconnect it and take the hose off the part going through the wall to the outside. If there is air blowing there, it must be in the pipe that goes through the wall.
I am assuming, from what you said, that there is not air blowing to the outside. If there is, air and heat, it must be working, at least to some extent.

It is plugged up with lint somewhere. Start looking in the exaust hose and work back towards the dryer.

if you're mechanically inclined, check out the fan, it may have been rounded off and it doesn't spin with the motor shaft. it's not costly to replace it and you can buy a replacement fan (not the motor) at any appliance store. while you're at it, check out your motor as well, make sure it's not burned out. good luck
