My dryer made a bang noise and now does not turn. Also you could smell rubber burning. Have turned off machine. Is this a belt issue?

A roller supporting the drum could have failed or drum fell off rollers. The burning rubber smell is from belt slipping.

SOURCE: Dryer stopped working

The dryers drive belt most likely broke. it must be replaced with a new one.

SOURCE: My frigidaire dryer had burning rubber smell now wont turn on

soulds like the fuse in the unit overloaded, fluff or oter items may have fallen onto the element, or the unit was overloaded, and the belt was slipping on the motor drive pulley. check for rubber drive belt debri. replace damaged items as required.

sounds like you need a new belt for your dryer, the smell of burning rubber is the belt slipping, thats my guess

SOURCE: rubber burning smell and smoke

It sounds like a pulley froze up. Pop the hood have someone start the car while you are looking at the pulleys, you should be able to see the problem.

Won't Spin Drum

The problem could be a list of things . Let's start checking the belt , it coul be that the belt is broken or something is keeping it from doing its job ( a piece of clothing coul be stuck) due to the burned rubber smell you detected. It coul also be the electrical door switch and After checking the three first steps then comes the motor part lets hope is not . Good luck

Loud banding noise in my LG Tromm DLE7177

Manually turn the motor and drum and listen for the noise, if so the motor bearings, the drum agitator shaft and fittings must be checked. Also the suspensions which include the shock absorbers and springs, the body clamps must be checked to be in correct alignment and not changed in position. Tightening of the mounting is also very important. Finally in most cases a drop of OIL or smear of grease on the moving parts cane solve most issues.

Our dryer has started making a loud thumping sound and smells like rubber burning?

It sounds like you your dryer may have a bad Blower Wheel, which is causing the banging noise that you are hearing (especially if the banging noise continues for a few sections after you turn your dryer off).

Hope this is helpful.
