A residential clothes dryer drum can be stopped from tumbling by several common mechanical failures, including a snapped or worn-out rubber drive belt that no longer grips the outer wrapper, a seized idler pulley that prevents tension, or worn-out drum support rollers binding against the housing frame. Additionally, overloading the appliance with excessive wet laundry can cause mechanical stalling. You can troubleshoot drive mechanisms easily by inspecting internal components through the service access panel. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when replacing a broken drive belt, lubricating or freeing binding rollers, and clearing drum obstructions restores smooth, continuous rotation during a test run.
