Answer 2

there is a belt that controls the drum so the belt might be broken might cost about 20 bucks or so

Answer 3

The belt probably came off or the motor burned out.

Answer 4

kick it

Answer 5

Can you hear the motor running?If yes,then the drive belt may have snapped.If not,the motor may have given up,or there is a loose connection in the wiring. Take top of dryer off to check the drive belt.To check motor,put dryer on it's side.You will be able to check some of the wiring when the top is off as well.

Answer 6

indesit is just a hotpoint with a different facia. the drive belts have a habit of slipping off the pulley. if so just pop it back on.
