My dryer wont heat up, the drum spins but there is not heat! any help?!

Open it up and check the belt inside. A belt is around the drum and around a pulley at the motor. If it is broken or has slipped off, then it wont spin.

could be any of these,, check here http://www.partselect.com/dryer+dryer-wont-heat+repair.htm, also http://www.partselect.com/dryer+dryer-wont-tumble+repair.htm

I would say belt is broken, if you turn the drum by hand and it spins freely then that is the problem, here is a website that will help:

Good Luck Tim

the belt,motor,idler assemblage, drum glides and rollers are all parts the will effect the rotation of the drum. Here is a website that will help:

either the motor is defective or the drum belt is broken or off the pulleys, if you can't hear the motor start and run w/o belt attached and it just buzzes the motor start cap could be bad

Sounds like the drum belt is broken or off the pulley of the motor

is the dryer belt on the moter pully and drum or possibly broken belt

So,. basically your drum doesnt turn. SO your getting heat still even though the drum isnt turning. Is this right? Sounds strange??? Do you hear any humming noise when you push the start button? I need to know a little more about the problem because im kinda confused as how you decribed the problem. Iv never seen a dryer heat but the drum not spinning. especially your model dryer. Its electric heat right? because if the drum doesnt spin, maybe your motor is bad. and if your motor is bad, then your heating element wont heat up because the centrifical switch in the motor is not switching to complete the circuit to the heating element. So this is why im confused when you said" Dryer heats when knob turned but when "push button" pressed, drum doesnt run." Because your belt wraps around the motor pully and the motor is what makes the drum turn. Like i said, i never seen this model dryer heat with out the motor operating. So if you can give me some more info, ill do my best to help you out....Thanks!!!!

Have you checked the belt? That's generally the problem when a dryer stops spinning.

If it heats but doesnt spin, most likely the belt. May not be broke though. May have fallen off. Let me know if you need more help.
