Why your LG washer is drum not turning
On a LG washer, drum not turning usually announces itself like this: motor hums but drum stays still. Drive belt, idler pulley, or motor coupling. On this platform it's most often a worn idler pulley. Left unaddressed, laundry backs up fast.
Most likely causes
- A worn idler pulley
- A failed drive motor
- A seized drum bearing
- A bad motor control board
Known LG washer weak points
- Linear compressor cooling failure (class-action litigation)
- Front-load drum bearing wear causing grinding/rumble
- Recurring UE unbalanced-load errors on washers
- Water and ice dispenser malfunctions
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Do this first — it takes two minutes: 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. Past that point, a seized bearing or failed motor coupling means pulling the drum partially out of the cabinet, which isn't a same-day DIY job without the right lift and tools.
How we fix it
First we diagnose the LG washer end to end, so you're not paying to swap parts on a guess. Genuine LG OEM parts are widely available through authorized distributors, but sealed-system refrigerant repairs (including linear compressors) require an experienced technician. Most drum not turning jobs finish same-day, at a flat price, under our warranty.
Independent service experienced with LG appliances; not an authorized LG service center.
