Dryer just stopped wont turn

Maybe a broken belt. Maybe a bad door switch. Maybe a bad motor. Maybe improper voltage. Maybe thermal fuse.

Most likley the support roller(s) failed.
The drum falls down and is jammed.
Belt is maybe OK,still.
Hard to see in there!

Use a putty knife to release the top then get the front panel off then remove the shroud and the drum. My home video of a dryer like yours:

Hope it helps Tim

Could be one of several things. The drum turns by motor and fan belt around the drum. The most common problem is that the fan belt is broken. Check to see that the drum is free and not bound up by frozen bearings. Also that nothing is jamming the drum. If everything seems to be ok --- you need to check the pulley on the motor shaft and be sure it is tight on the shaft . More than likely -- it is a broken belt. I hope this helped.

Depends how handy you are lol, make sure its unplugged from mains remove the back plate on machine then you can see if there is any clothes jammed or maybe the belt has come off or broken

A couple of possibilities:

There is a belt that goes around the dryer drum. It may have broken or slipped out of place. If you remove the top of the dryer (usually pretty easy), you will probably see the belt going around the middle of the drum. (If not, maybe it broke.) It is loose? If so, it probably slipped off the motor or is broken (as you may find if you pull on it). If all this seems ok, you need to remove the front of the dryer. That's usually a little more complicated, but not too bad. Now you'll probably see the motor. On mine, it is on the lower right. Does the belt go around the motor pulley and the drum and is tight? If so, maybe the motor is broken.

At this point you need to know if the motor works, but that may not be really easy because opening the door usually breaks an interlock switch that stops the motor from turning. But if you are careful, especially with electricity, you may be able to bypass enough things to see if the motor turns. Alternatively, note the exact position that the motor pulley is in (mark it if necessary). Then reassemble the dryer, try to run the motor, and then open it again. Did the mark move?

At this point, you probably have enough information to see what needs to be fixed or replaced. One additional problem I had was that the motor pulley was slipping on its shaft. If a plastic/nylon part has broken, you may need to replace it. Of course, if the motor isn't turning, make sure that nothing is jamming it somehow (like a stray sock tightly caught in the belt). Hope this helps.

maybe a broken belt, or the motor is locked put but i recommend you looking for the belt and then turn the motor by hand.

If it's not turning at all, the belt is probably broken. If it turns a little and then stops, the belt is slipping. In either case, the belt needs to be replaced.

take it apart and you will see that the belt is probably find the belt broke
