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. Should that not clear 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.
How we fix it
An experienced tech tests the Whirlpool dryer systematically and pinpoints what's actually causing the drum not turning. Whirlpool OEM parts are extremely widely available through authorized distributors, but sealed-system refrigerant repairs require an experienced technician.
