A Maytag dryer in Canton, OH was running but wouldn’t turn the drum. We found the drive belt had failed, leaving the motor spinning without transferring power to rotate the clothes drum.
The Problem
The customer reported that it runs but wont turn the drum. The motor would start and operate normally, but the drum remained stationary during the cycle.
Diagnosis
Opening the cabinet revealed a broken drive belt. The belt had snapped, disconnecting the motor from the drum assembly. Without this critical connection, the motor runs but cannot rotate the drum to tumble the clothes.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: WP33002535 — V-belt
- Work performed: Replaced the belt
- Result: Drum now rotates properly with motor operation
Is It Worth Repairing?
Maytag dryers are built to last, and a broken belt is one of the most cost-effective repairs you can make. This model should provide many more years of reliable service with the new belt installed.
Maintenance Tips for Maytag Dryers
- Clean the lint filter after every load to reduce strain on the drive belt
- Check that the drum rotates freely by hand when the dryer is off and unplugged
- Listen for unusual squeaking or grinding sounds that could indicate belt wear
