Dryer drum not spinning?

A snapped drive belt disconnects the motor from the drum, causing the motor to run freely while the drum stays stationary.

Likely causes · most likely first

Drum Belt (92¼" 4-Rib)

Moderate DIY Part: $10–$25
Idler Pulley

Moderate DIY Part: $10–$30

A seized idler pulley prevents the belt from circulating, causing the belt to slip off or snap entirely.
Drum Roller — Left (349241T)

Moderate DIY Part: $10–$35

A worn or flat front drum roller creates excessive drag that the drive belt cannot overcome, stalling drum rotation.
Drum Roller — Right (349241T)

Moderate DIY Part: $10–$35

A worn or flat rear drum roller creates excessive drag that the drive belt cannot overcome, stalling drum rotation.
Drive Motor

Hard DIY Part: $80–$175

A failed drive motor produces no shaft rotation, so neither the blower wheel nor the drum can turn.
