Dryer runs and heats up but tumbler won't turn

SOURCE: dryer tumbler won't turn but heats up

turn on for a short time and listen for a low hum. if present, this means the motor is stalled. take of top and give the drum a push. if it then starts to run then the motor capacitor is faulty

The first thing to check is the drive belt. you will need to turn the dryer on its side and look to see if the drive belt is broken. If this is o.k it will be the motor.

Hi ya,
Welcome to fixya.com

This sounds to me like the the timer switch is faulty and needs to be replaced.

Heres what you'll need to do.

First pull out your lint trap and place your hand down in the lint trap hole not very far just enough to feel a good amount of air blowing on your hand. If you feel no breeze in there you need to clean the ducting, starting at the back of the dryer (where you hook it up at) and ending out side your house (where vents at). Snake it your self or have someone do it but just the same it has to be done.

Secondly you'll need to change you thermal fuse. If after snaking the dryer still doesn't heat. Changing the thermal fuse is easily done. Firstly you must unplug the dryer and then remove the cover off of the back of the dryer. Then you'll see the thermal fuse
(most of them look like this). Change it and put the dryer cover back on, plug it in and your ready to rock and roll.

Hope this helps
Jason
