What is drum dryer?
A drum dryer is a drum rotating on a horizontal axis with heat applied either from the outside of the drum or with hot gas (usually air) blown across the drum contents. The rotation of the drum causes the contents to tumble, thus assuring uniform drying and mixing. A good example of a drum drier is a home laundry drier.
How do you repair a dryer if it starts making a squealing sound?
It depends on the dryer but it sounds like the belt might be slipping or one of the drum rollers rubbing. Unplug dryer and see if you can access it workings from the bottom, if not remove the back dryer panel. You can try some 'Belt Dressing Spray - Found in automotive shops" on the dryer belt or some WD-40 on the drum rollers should it be one of them. If all else fails replace the dryer belt but that can be a bit of a job and it could be cheaper to just buy a new dryer.

You don't have your tongue in the right position. Put the belt on the drum and motor and pull the tensioner pully over to install it there.
In the usage of a domestic clothes-washing machine what is the difference between spin dry and tumble-dry?
The spin dry function on a washing machine rotates the drum of the washing machine at high speeds. The drum is perforated so the clothes are spun hard against the drum while allowing the water to be flung out of the clothes. This removes the bulk of the water from the clothes, which makes rinsing efficient and drying quicker, but will not completely dry them. A high speed spin removes more water, but can crease clothing so it needs to be shaken out before hanging to dry. A tumble dryer or tumble dry function in a combination washer/dryer gently rotates the clothes so that they tumble within the drum while blowing heated air through them. The tumbling allows the air to reach all parts of the clothing and minimises creasing. The clothes can be completely dried.
Other than the pulley what else does a Whirlpool dryer belt have to go over when replacing?
A place to start when dealing with dryer belts and understanding how they work is that they have to go around the drum of the dryer and around the pulley of the motor. The only additional thing the belt comes into contact with is a spring-loaded tensioner. The belt does not actually go around the tensioner, but rather is pushed "in" by it.
Why a roper dryer heats up but the drum won't turn?
Belt is probably broken. Many dryers have fan either directly connected to the motor or on separate motor. Fan may be pulling in the hot air, but belt is broken, so motor is not turning the drum.
