Drive Belt
The drive belt is a rubber-based component that encircles the drum to transmit torque from the motor. Over time, thermal cycling and constant tension cause the material to fatigue and crack, eventually leading to a snap. In this model, a broken belt usually triggers a safety switch that halts all motor operation, resulting in the reported symptom.

Idler Pulley Assembly
The idler pulley maintains constant tension on the drive belt to prevent slippage. If the pulley bearing seizes or the tension spring fails, the belt cannot provide sufficient friction to turn the heavy drum or may snap due to friction-induced heat, effectively stopping rotation.

Drive Motor
The motor provides the mechanical energy for both the drum rotation and the blower fan. If the centrifugal switch fails or the start windings suffer an electrical open, the motor will fail to reach the necessary RPM to rotate the drum, often characterized by a humming sound or a complete lack of response when the start button is engaged.
