Dryer runs but the drum occasionally slips or stops while the motor continues to run.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before accessing the belt and motor.

Step-by-step checks:

Inspect belt condition: Remove the rear panel and check the belt for glazing, cracks, or slackness.
Check belt tension: Ensure the idler pulley is applying adequate tension. Replace the idler spring or pulley if weak or worn.
Inspect motor pulley: Check for wear or oil contamination on the pulley. Clean or replace as needed.

When to call a technician: If the drum support system is misaligned causing repeated belt issues, professional alignment may be required.
