LG dryer. the drum will not turn with wet towels in it. When it turns it does so slow and the contents do not tumble but get bundeled up in knots. The belt seems ok, it did make a "squeeky" noise when it turned prior to this problem.

You need to replace the bell, also check those roller underneath of the drum are freely turn. It is quite hard to take off the front door of LG dryer, if you not a handy person, call for service. If you want to try let me know, I will guide you to open it.

Glad you got it fixed!

this could be operator error please hear me out...... when wash bath towels you also put in wash cloths and hand towels .... there is a sensor in dryer drum shroud in front of lint filter to metal silver strips when the clothes are tumbling they sweep across this sensor telling the dryer heat to stay on and continue to dry.... if th small wash cloth sweeps it first before the bath towel then u get the same results as your describing just like if you were waqshing colors load like cotton tshirt and blue jeans the tshirt is going to dry way faster than blue jeans so if the tshirt sweeps that sensor first the dryer going to shut off we have to sort our clothes to thickness ans same size articles just try it once i bet your clothes are dry when cycle completes

here is a fuw things to check first,,,, is the vents clear the dryer need to breath freely,,,is the drum turning around freely and not sticking due to belt slip,,, how dry are the cloths going ino the dryer,,,,(as the winer is here the air going in is cooler so takes more heat to warm it up) uk temp -2 degrees??? cold! how much are you putting in it? can it tumble freely,,,(no big knots in it?) try turning the heat up to full heat? and drying for longer,,,if all that fails,,,dont do any more washing??

Put a couple of clean dry bath towels in with your knit shirts.......problem solved

Broken drive belt, or drive belt disengaged. Or stretched. Or lost tension spring. Humming is motor running, not driving drum.

Your filter &/or pump could be blocked. Remove bottom panel three screws, unscrew filter cap (have lots of towels cause it will drain), remove filter & clean out. Refit. If you have manual refer to it. Pl rate me if helped.
