Dryer will not spin in oposite direction; will try but won't.

if this is an electric dryer you need to replace the heating element-also while you have the machine apart vaccume out all the lint you can get to -cheers Denny

Sorry to hear about your problem. Could you please post the model number and I will see if I can help you.

What is the setting on for example towels,check lint trap in back when dryer turns does the back of drum turn red,look through door and watch. If you still don't feel heat its the coil,It should be under warrenty.

The dryer either spins because of belts/ropes or because the motor directly contacts the dryer drum. I would tip the dryer so I could inspect the drum drive mechanism(s). Make sure you don't have a belt that broke or slipped or that a drive wheel locked up.

A lot of times it is the strainer clogged at the pump. That has happened to mine. Hope that helps.
