Drum Drive Belt
The drive belt transfers rotational energy from the motor to the drum. Over time, the rubber degrades or the belt snaps under load; without a functional belt, the drum cannot physically rotate regardless of motor operation. On this specific Maytag platform, a broken belt often trips the idler pulley switch, which prevents the unit from even attempting to start.

Dryer Thermal Fuse
This is a non-resettable safety device located on the blower housing. If the dryer exhaust becomes restricted and temperatures exceed the safety threshold, the fuse blows to cut power to the drive motor. This is the leading electrical cause for a dryer that powers on but will not initiate drum rotation.

Door Switch
The door switch provides a signal to the control board confirming the door is closed. If the internal contact points fail or the plastic actuator snaps, the dryer will remain in a 'Paused' or 'Door Open' state, preventing the motor from energizing and the drum from turning.
