When an electric or gas clothes dryer runs its motor and generates heat but the interior drum fails to rotate or spin, the issue is typically caused by a snapped, slipped, or worn-out rubber drive belt that has disconnected from the motor pulley. Other mechanical causes include a seized idler pulley arm, worn-out drum support rollers binding against the cabinet frame, or a sheared motor coupling. You can troubleshoot mechanical drives safely by unplugging the unit and inspecting the belt through the service panel. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when replacing a snapped rubber drive belt or freeing a bound idler pulley allows the motor to spin the drum smoothly during a test cycle.
