I see the exploded view of the parts on this site but what I can't determine is how is what is ROTATING THE DRUM ? I see the 4 suspension rollers and belt listed but I only see reference to the blower motor (for the hot air to dry the clothes). The belt appears in the front of the diagram but no other pulley or drive motor that I can see. What drives the drum ? Thank you in advance.

There is a kit available that has all the parts needed.

You will need to dismantle the unit and check all the rotating parts including the idler roller for wear and/or damage . The belt is also likely damaged.

It has 4 support rollers, much like a WP dryer. If you had looked it up you would know that. link below. https://www.appliancepar...for-ge-dpgt750gc2ww.html
