Amana NED4655EW 6.5 cu ft Electric Dryer 2400W Wrinkle Prevent Drum Not Turning Error Fix: Dryer Runs But Drum Does Not Spin

You hear the motor running but the drum does not rotate. The most common cause is a broken drive belt — the belt wraps around the drum, under the idler pulley, and around the motor pulley. If the belt breaks, the drum cannot turn. On most Amana dryers, this also triggers a belt switch that shuts off the motor, so if the motor keeps running with no drum rotation, the belt may be off the pulley rather than broken. Remove the top panel and front panel to inspect the belt. A thumping noise before the drum stopped turning usually indicates the belt was slipping before it broke.
