home sectionhome sectionAn automatic clothes dryer contains a large drum that holds your damp clothes. Heated air is forced into the drum while it rotates to thoroughly dry your clothes. A drum that slips may leave your clothes partially wet after a complete cycle. Because the drum is powered by a large flexible belt, that may be the culprit. The drum may slip if the belt tensioner is faulty. The tensioner tightens the belt against the drum with spring pressure. If the spring weakens or breaks, the tensioner will not keep the belt tight against the drum. Replacing the tensioner should remedy…
The largest component inside your Amana dryer is the drum. This is the tub where you put the clothes. It is this drum that spins during a drying cycle. The drum spins via a drive belt, which is attached to the drum. If your dryer isn't spinning properly, it is likely the result of a belt problem. You can open up your dryer and troubleshoot the drum yourself.
General Electric offers a wide range of dryers that are designed to meet the needs of residential customers. GE dryers employ a rubber belt to rotate the drum.
