Dryer drum stopped rotating, dryer blower continues to work.

While drying a pair of tennis shoes the drum stopped rotating, it continues to blow warm air and and makes all the same sounds as it does when working but the drum does not turn. I have shut the unit off and restarted a drying cycle but it does not cause the drum to turn.

Is there a reset for the drum or did the clunking of the tennis shoes knock something loose....?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

The belt probably broke, and coincidentally happened while drying the shoes. The belt is easy to replace. Open the back and you'll probably see the belt laying on the bottom

Dryer is growling when spinning heavy loads.

The bearings may be gone, but I don't know how old your machine is or the brand. If it is over 8 years old, consider replacing it. Maybe get an estimate from a repairman who knows your brand.

My dryer (maytag atlantis) has started making a loud clunking noise with each revolution. its still drying fine but sounds terrible. any thoughts?

A loose belt will allow the drum to slip when clothes hit the paddles in the drum. It sometimes sounds like a pair of tennis shoes are in the dryer when it slips and is usually rythymic.

These machines also use drum rollers that can make a racket when they go bad.
