Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Start here — it costs nothing and rules out the easy cause: check whether the drum turns at all by hand with the unit unplugged, which tells you if it's electrical or mechanical. Also, confirm the door is closing and latching fully, since most units lock the drum if they don't sense a secure door. If that doesn't fix it, if the door's fine, it's a belt, coupler, or motor issue inside the cabinet, and reaching those parts means partially disassembling the unit — not a first-time DIY job.
