How can I fix my White Night tumble dryer?

The drum has stopped turning although it is still drying at the moment. Can this be fixed or do I need a new tumble dryer?

I also want to know how to fix a belt? Do I need to take the bottom part of the back off, as I cannot undo the middle flixings on the top back panel - Alys - p.s. thanks for a reply

Unplug it. Reach into the drum and try to turn it by hand. If you can turn it easily chances are the drive belt has broken or come off. If you can feel or hear the motor being turned then maybe motor has packed in or its starting capacitor. If it feels free then take off the back and have a look. The drive belt should be around the drum and the motor pulley if it;s damaged or broken a replacement shouldn't be more than a tenner from one of the spares suppliers on the net.
