Dryer Not Spinning.

If you’ve run into the problem of a dryer not spinning, there are a some reasons why this might be happening.

These are a few simple ways in which you can resolve the dryer not spinning problem or if you’re dealing with drum roller problems and need to replace a part that’s malfunctioning.

Drive Belt

Your dryer is rotated by a drive belt. Over time this drive belt can wear out and eventually snap.

This is often caused by overuse of the machine, or if it is an older machine, regular use over a prolonged period of time can cause the drive belt to wear out.

If it has snapped, you’ll have to replace it in your dryer.

Similarly, with most dryer repairs to fix the broken drive belt, you’ll have to

• Remove the front panel of your drying machine
• Remove the front bulk-head of the dryer to easily access the drive belt

Once removed, you’ll see the snapped/broken drive belt. Make sure to purchase the same series/model number, for the specific dryer model and manufacturer piece you own.

For some dryers, you can purchase a generic drive belt if it fits around the drum where the belt rotates. Once replaced, the dryer not spinning issue should resolve itself once you replace the front panel of your drying machine and place the front bulk-head back into place on the dryer.
