hey all , I’m having problems with a dryer that will run , but will stop spinning prior to shut down. I think it is a belt problem, any ideas?:\
Need more info.
Why do you think it is the belt?
Are there any other symptoms?
When it stops can you restart it right away or do you have to wait several minutes before it resets?
If you have to wait then the most likely cause is the motor is overheating. It then trips it’s internal thermal protect and then you have to wait for it to coll down and the protect resets before it will start again.
not sure if it’s the belt, but the drum slowly stops rotating and the motor still runs. Any ideas?
I am not sure what this could be, you will have to open the unit up to find the cause.
Before doing this manually rotate the drum in the correct direction. It should turn fairly easily. You may want to try this on a couple other units just to get a feel for it. This will check if there is a mounting problem with the drum causing too much load.
Could be the belt, the motor, the motor pulley ard the idler wheel (tensioner)
