Possible Causes
Broken drive belt, Faulty belt switch (if equipped), Misaligned idler pulley, Disconnected belt switch wiring
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer.
Step-by-step checks:
- Check belt: Remove the top panel and look down at the drum. If the drive belt is loose, broken, or off the pulleys, it must be replaced.
- Inspect idler and switch: On models with a belt switch, the switch is actuated by the idler pulley arm. Ensure the arm moves freely and engages the switch.
- Continuity test: With the dryer unplugged, test the belt switch for continuity when the belt is tensioned (or arm pulled into running position). Replace if it does not close properly.
- Install new belt: Route the new belt around the drum, motor pulley, and idler pulley according to the diagram (often on the cabinet). Ensure proper tension.
Note: A broken belt is a common wear item; inspect rollers and idler for wear at the same time.
