No, you cannot effectively or safely use a clothes dryer if the drum does not spin or tumble during the cycle. Tumbling is mandatory because it constantly tosses and separates garments, allowing hot air to circulate evenly through every fabric layer. If the machine heats up while stationary, clothes will scorch in the center. You can troubleshoot mechanical failures easily by observing drum movement. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when unplugging the appliance, replacing a snapped rubber drive belt, and running a test cycle restores smooth drum rotation and safe, even drying performance across your laundry load.
