When you press start and the dryer hums but the drum stays still, a worn or snapped drive belt is the most common culprit. A seized drum roller, a broken motor coupling, or a failed idler pulley can also prevent rotation. Running the dryer in this state risks overheating the motor. An appliance-repair technician can diagnose the exact failed component, replace the belt or roller, and test the drum for smooth, balanced rotation before closing the cabinet.
