Signs Your Dryer Drum Belt Needs Replacement

Don’t wait — a snapped belt can wrap around the motor shaft and damage the idler pulley, turning a $69 quote fix into a $69 quote one.

If you see two or more of these signs, it’s time to replace the dryer drum belt.
Watch for these signals. A belt failure is usually obvious: the motor runs but nothing tumbles.
- Motor runs (you can hear it hum) but drum doesn’t turn
- Thumping or squealing noise before drum stopped spinning
- Drum turns freely by hand with no resistance
- Clothes sitting wet and cool despite a full cycle
