Motor runs but the drum sits still — the belt has snapped or slipped off the motor and idler pulleys, cutting off all rotation.
A worn, fraying, or partially broken belt drags against the drum housing, creating loud squeaking or grinding sounds during operation.
Some dryer models use a belt switch — a broken belt trips this switch and prevents the dryer from starting at all.
A stretched or slipping belt causes the drum to spin too slowly, reducing airflow efficiency and leaving clothes damp after a full cycle.




💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Dryer Belt the Problem?
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Dryer drum does not spin or rotate even though the motor is running
⚠️ Loud squeaking, squealing, or grinding noises during the drying cycle
⚠️ Clothes take much longer to dry or come out still damp
⚠️ Dryer appears to start but produces no tumbling action
🔍 Quick Test: Open the dryer door and try to spin the drum by hand. If it spins very freely with almost no resistance, the belt is likely broken. Visually inspect the bottom of the drum interior — a broken belt will often be found lying there in pieces.
