There is a very large belt that spins the heater drum. it is probably broken, if it was loose you would have noticed skipping or squealing and the clothes would not have been drying well for a while

How do you get to the belts on a ge 8 cycle heavy duty dryer. It's an older appliance.

Remove the top/cover and then remove the front assembly and you will have the drum and belt in front of you.

My general electric heavy duty automatic electric dryer won't heat. Is there anything to try before replacing heater?

go to your fuse box and try replacing the 2 fuses for the dryer circuit or if you have a circuit breaker box shut off the breaker for the dryer and turn it back on and try the dryer again. I used to be an electrician and found double pole circuit breakers that have only one side tripped. alot of 220volt electric dryers use one circuit for the tumbler motor and the other circuit for the heating element

Kenmore Heavy Duty Plus Dryer 86273100 drum won't spin

How could the belt be in working order if the drum doesn't spin? Check to see if the belt has come off the motor. If the motor runs but your dryer doesn't spin, the belt is off. If the motor runs with the belt on but it still won't spin then you'll have a lot of black smoke because your drum is jammed. In other words, there are a number of things that could be wrong, but not very many.

GE dryer heavy duty 7 cycle, just finished drying a load of clothes, put wet ones in and closed the door turned to the cycle i wanted turned the start switch and nothing.... but a light hum...

Check to see if you can spin the drum fairly easy. Also, try to leave the door open, hold the door switch in, and then start the dryer and give the drum a spin to see if it starts.

Dryer won't spin, but heats up - belt is okay

the motor may have seized up, or the drum bearings are shot.

Kenmore heavy duty plus

Sure. The likely problem is a broken belt. Do you hear the motor? If not, it could be the motor. Pull the back off the unit...with the power off and have a look.
