Why your Whirlpool washer is drum not turning

Quick check — and when it's not DIY
One thing you can rule out on your own: confirm the door is closing and latching fully, since most units lock the drum if they don't sense a secure door. Also, check whether the drum turns at all by hand with the unit unplugged, which tells you if it's electrical or mechanical. If it's still acting up after that, 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.
