Is the air blowing from the exhaust in the back of the dryer and are clothes drying?
if the motor turned the other way, you would have no air flow. The dryer is working as designed. Also, if the drum turned clockwise, the idler pulley would not keep the belt tight. Some dryers turn clockwise, some counterclockwise.
Dryers are designed to operate in one direction. Some models turn clockwise and some turn counter-clockwise. Do not run it backwards. The direction of air flow will be impeded or reversed.
You may want to contact a professional that will have the diagrams for your machine online. there are some here or you can go to another site. like (Just answer.) Be more specific about your problem. It can be fixed . There's no worries.
Are you saying that it does not heat up either ?In addition with not tumbling clockwise ?
Disconnect the dryer first. You can remove the top and front of the dryer to check to see what is happening. If it does not heat . You may need to replace the temperature control relay. If that does not work , the heating elements themselves may need to be replaced.
For the tumbling problem, they also have relay switches that go out.
BUT, if it is tumbling to one side and keeps tumbling then that will probably be enough to dry your clothes. As long as it is not too heavily loaded.
have you try to rotate the drum when belt is attached or installed, unplug your machine and try to spin it manualy at the back opening where you can access the mechanical part
try to use the belt when turning it counter-clockwise see if it will turn the drum, if not then the fproblem is the bearing
The first and most important thing you need to do, is to disconnect
the dryer from the wall outlet before doing any kind of work on it.
Most parts will need to be checked for continuity and the dryer must be
disconnected from the wall outlet. Most of the times the part causing the problem is behind the dryer and you can gain access by removing the back panel.
its always recomended that you turn clockwise on a timer that only goes that way but if it moves c/wise or a/clockwise with no effort then it was desighned to do this hope this helps
HI thanks for the question. the drum must be out. with a right size wrench. hold the blower wheel . from turning . with a 3/4 inch socket. put socket on the motor pulley. turn the socket clock wise . it should loosen. thanks the appliance doc
