Dryer drum stopped rotating
I've got a Kenmore 80 Series electric clothes dryer, whose drum stopped
turning last night. The heat comes on, and it sounds like the motor is running, but there's no tumbling. I could probably switch out a simple part or two, if that's what wrong, but I don't know what to look for once I get the back off. Any direction would be most appreciated. -- bruce The dignified don't even enter in the game. -- The Jam |

probably a broken belt, most likely you will need to remove drum, but
its no biggie. the belt circles the drum. on all the newer dryers you will need to remove the front, since the back supports the drum its not removable. |

Thanks, all; it's a snapped belt. I got a couple of DIY books from the
library, and have got the machine apart. Tomorrow, I'll find a new belt & see about getting the rascal back together. |
