# How to Check the Belt on a Samsung Front Loading Dryer
Samsung front-loading automatic dryers come in a wide range of models in both gas and electric formats. Each model is equipped with a belt that connects to a set of pulleys powered by the motor. The belt wraps around the tumbler drum to rotate it during a drying cycle. Check your Samsung dryer belt as part of the troubleshooting process if the dryer drum is not rotating the way it should.
