No, you should not continue to use a clothes dryer if the drum refuses to spin or tumble, even if the heating element still produces warm air. Operating a dryer when the drum is stationary means that clothes in the center of the pile will remain soaking wet while garments on the outside scorch from direct heat exposure, creating a severe fire hazard. You can troubleshoot tumbling failures easily. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when unplugging the appliance, replacing a snapped rubber drive belt or freeing a seized idler pulley, and testing the machine restores smooth drum rotation and safe, even drying performance.
