When your dryer hums but the drum doesn't turn, or it won't start at all, the problem is usually a broken belt, a worn drum roller, or a failed motor. These are straightforward repairs that our technicians handle with same-day service in Gainesville, Haymarket, and Bristow.
The rubber belt that wraps around the drum and motor wears thin and snaps. The dryer may hum but the drum won't turn.
The rollers that support the drum wear flat over time, causing the drum to seize or turn with a loud thumping noise.
If the motor has burned out, the dryer won't spin or make any noise when started.
The door switch tells the dryer the door is closed. If it fails, the dryer won't start at all.
Try these before calling for service — they may resolve a simple issue.
Try to turn the drum by hand — if it spins freely, the belt is likely broken
Listen when you press start — a hum with no spin suggests a broken belt or seized roller
Check if the door switch clicks when you close the door
Make sure the dryer is getting power — check the breaker and outlet
