Dryer drum will not turn

I DON'T KNOW. BELT MAY BE PINCHED IN SMALL
SPRING LOADED IDLER WHEEL. YOU MAY HAVE TO OPEN INSPECTION COVER. ON ONE OF OUR DRYERS I TURNED THE DROM THE WRONG WAY AND THE DARN TENSIONER UNHOOKED.

Good Morning Friend,

I understand your Electrolux gas dryer, model# EIGD55HIW, is snagging and tearing your clothes. There is a possibility that the temperature is too high and you are overdrying your clothes. Make sure to dry your clothes on the correct temperatures and correct times. The other possibility is, the finish inside of your dryer has been scratched or chipped. This can cause a snagging or tearing of clothes. To prevent further scratching and chipping of the drum finish, make sure to always remove any foreign objects from pockets before laundering, as well as make sure zippers and fasteners are not hitting the inside of the drum. Hope this is helpful.

Good Afternoon Friend,

I understand your Electrolux dryer, model# EIGD55HIW0, is snagging your clothes. This can be caused by scratching or chipping of the drum of your appliance. There is nothing to stop this from happening other than changing out the drum. For future reference, you can help avoid this by removing foreign objects such as coins, pins, clips, or buttons, from all pockets. You will also want to be careful with belt buckles, zippers, and fasteners that may be hitting the inside of the drum. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

First thing to check is the drum alignment to be sure that it has not shifted from wear. Open the door and reach in and see if you can move the drum up and down or side to side (not spinning) but pressing on it. IF you can then it needs to have some guides replaced. However if it is tight then you need to get a drier sheet or something similar and run it along every inch of that tub and the paddles and the back to see if it snags on something.

i would say the belt that turns drum is broke,slipping or jumped off motor.try running without clothes in it.if drum dosent turn belt is broke or off

My advice would be to replace the drum...but if you're going to do that, you're better off just buying a new machine. A new drum will cost about half the cost of a new machine.

maybe drum glides/rollers,belt,motor or idler pulley:

I'd be more suspicious of what you're putting through the wash, rather than the machine.

no yo may have a pin or needle type stuck in your dryer and when clothes go around they get stuck on it cheack drum very carefully
it may be a bra wire that jammed in between drum

If your clothes get stuck, marked or torn in your dryer, check these:

Rollers
Rear seal
Front glides
Front seal
Rollers Your dryer may use rollers, or wheels, to support the rear of the clothes drum. When these are worn out, they may cause the clothes drum to drop down slightly, which can pinch the clothes between the top of the clothes drum and the rear of the dryer interior. When the rollers wear out, you need to replace the whole set.

Rear seal Your dryer may have a felt-like seal at the rear of the drum. If this seal is worn, torn, or missing, clothes can get caught and torn in the space between the clothes drum and the rear of the dryer interior. When the rear seal wears out, you need to replace it.

Front glides Your dryer probably uses nylon or plastic glides at the front of the clothes drum for support. When these are worn out, they may cause the clothes drum to drop down slightly, which can pinch the clothes between the top of the clothes drum and the front of the dryer interior. When the glides wear out, you need to replace them as a set.

Front seal Many dryers have a felt-like seal at the front of the drum. If this seal is worn, torn, or missing, the clothes in the dryer may get caught and torn in the space between the clothes drum and the front of the dryer interior. When the seal wears out, you need to replace it.
