Fixing a clothes dryer that runs its motor and heats up but fails to rotate the drum involves inspecting and replacing worn drive components. First, unplug the dryer from the wall electrical outlet for absolute safety and remove the rear or top service panels to access the interior drum and motor assembly. Second, check if the rubber drive belt has snapped, slipped off the motor pulley, or worn completely smooth. Third, inspect the idler pulley and drum support rollers for binding. You can troubleshoot mechanical drives easily. You can verify that your repair is successful when installing a new drive belt around the motor pulley and drum wrapper, reassembling the cabinet, and running a test cycle results in smooth drum rotation.
