Another symptom is the loss of traction of the belt on the drum, resulting in a slow or non tumble condition. With the belt removed the idler pulley should turn freely on the shaft with no play. Also, check the shaft for signs of wear and replace if required. The spring tension should pull the belt tight and if not then the spring or assembly will need to be replaced. The idler pulley and shaft are normally located next to the drive motor at the bottom of the dryer and can be serviced with the lower access panel or front panel removed.
