Samsung Dryer Drum Won't Turn – Fix Drive Belt Failure Fast

If your Samsung dryer runs but the drum won't spin, the drive belt has almost certainly snapped or stretched beyond use. In most Samsung electric and gas dryers, this is caused by a failed drive belt. When it fails, the motor runs but the drum sits completely still — clothes stay wet no matter how long the cycle runs. ⚡ Don't run the dryer without a working belt — motor strain can cause secondary damage. Part 6602-001655 is the genuine OEM replacement that restores full drum rotation immediately with no modification required.

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:

• ✔ Your dryer powers on and the motor runs normally
• ✔ The drum does not spin or spins freely by hand with no resistance
• ✔ You hear a squealing, thumping, or slapping noise before failure
• ✔ Your model is a Samsung electric or gas dryer (see compatible models below)
• ✔ ONLY problem is the drum not turning — no heat or electrical issues

🔧 Common Symptoms

• Dryer runs but drum does not spin
• Drum spins freely by hand with no resistance (belt snapped)
• Loud squealing or squeaking noise during operation
• Thumping or slapping sound before drum stopped turning
• Clothes are wet after a full cycle
• Burning rubber smell from the dryer cabinet

✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the system.

✔ In most cases, replacing this drive belt restores normal operation immediately.

⚙️ Installation Notes

Skill Level: Intermediate — 30–60 minutes. Disconnect power before beginning any repair. Remove the dryer top and front panel to access the drum, route the new belt around the drum and through the idler pulley and motor pulley, then reassemble in reverse order. Ensure the belt is seated flat in all 5 ribs — a twisted belt will cause immediate re-failure.
