Dryer Humming But Not Spinning – Northglenn
If your dryer makes a humming sound but the drum doesn’t move, there’s likely a mechanical issue stopping it from working. At Tonny’s Appliance Repair, we help homeowners in Northglenn fix this exact problem quickly and affordably-so you can get back to laundry without the stress.
Why Your Dryer Hums but Won’t Spin
A humming sound means the motor is getting power-but something is physically preventing the drum from turning.
Most common causes:
- Broken or slipped drive belt
- Worn drum support rollers or glides
- Seized motor or idler pulley
- Jammed blower wheel
- Drum overloaded with heavy clothes
- Failed motor start capacitor
- Obstruction or clothing stuck inside
Ignoring this can overheat the motor or cause more damage.

What to Try Before Calling
