[Flying Blue Eagle]

Rakesh Bajaj- There are a few different causes for this Lets do some checking,to find the problem - #1 You could have a broken dryer drum belt #2 - Broken or loose idlerspringand pully;; #3- drum is obstructedby lintor foreign objects:: #4- Defective support roller:: #5- faulty motor ;;
Ok I gave you the reasons that I know of that causes your problem, Now The rest will be up[ to you to check out and find the problem, #1- Remove the bottom panel on the front side , On some you have to use a Screw driver by slideing it in between the upper and lower panels right in the middle of the two panels there is a spring catch and you will have to release the spring pressure in order to pull the panelaway, :: Try to pull it out first, :: Set the panel off to the side, get a flash light so you can see up inside the bottom of the dryer : ( MAKE SURE THAT THE POWER TO THE DRYER IS OFF) Ok reach in to the belt and see if it is real loose and you can pull it out, If you can that is your problem, Check each one of the ITEMS of proablre causes :: You will need a VOLT _OHM METER FOR THE LAST ITEM ( THE MOTOR ) To check the motor the easy way - After checking all the other items :: Turn the power back on yto the dryer and get the flash light and get down to where you can see up inside the dryer on the bottom and listen for the motor and watch to see if the drum rotates or the motor starts or tries to start, :: One other item that can keep the dryer from runninr - Make sure the door is fully closed because if it isn't the dryer will not start, also if the door switch is bad it won't start . :: RAKESH- TRY these things and if you need to know how to go about checking to see if the different items are good ort bad ,come back on this post and let us know ::
Good luck and stay safe, you are messing with 220 volts and it has no regrets, GOD BLESS F.B.E.
