Why your dryer is drum not turning
The drum will not turn by hand either, which points at a seized bearing or roller rather than a broken belt — that is the dryer reporting something specific, not a vague fault. Nothing here is an emergency, though the cause is still doing damage in the background.
Causes, in the order we check them
- 01An idler pulley that's worn out
- 02A drum bearing that's seized
- 03A motor control board misfiring
Quick checks worth doing
There's a two-minute check worth doing first: confirm the door's closing and latching fully, since most units lock the drum out if they don't sense a secure door. If you want a firmer read on it, feel the exhaust air on a dryer: cool air with the heat called for is the single most diagnostic observation available. Beyond that, if the door's fine, it's a belt, coupler, or motor issue inside the cabinet, and reaching those means partial teardown — not a first attempt without the right tools.
We diagnose the dryer against the model-specific service data rather than working from the symptom alone. Whichever of these it turns out to be, the reading taken on site is what decides the part — not the symptom on its own.
What Ponte Vedra's climate does to a dryer
Set a dryer down in Ponte Vedra and the environment starts working on it immediately, not eventually. Salt accelerates corrosion on the cabinet and exposed fasteners, while the ambient damp keeps the gasket from ever fully drying between cycles. On a Ponte Vedra job we check for the wear this environment causes, so the fix holds past the next heat wave.

Common questions
Answered before you call.
When is a replacement the better call?
Yes. Some failures cost more to put right than the remaining life of the unit justifies, and a technician who has just measured the fault is the person best placed to tell you which case you are in.
Where do the replacement parts come from?
Genuine parts where the repair calls for them — and an honest answer when a component is discontinued and the only route is an equivalent.
Do you guarantee your repairs?
You're covered by our 18-month labor warranty and 90-day parts warranty. If the same fault recurs in that period, the follow-up visit is free.
What does the diagnosis involve?
The technician confirms the fault on the unit itself — readings taken, not assumed — then explains what failed, why, and what the repair involves before anything is replaced.
