Why your LG dryer is drum not turning
Here's how drum not turning typically presents on a LG dryer: motor hums but drum stays still. Drive belt, idler pulley, or motor coupling. The usual culprit is a failed drive motor. Left unaddressed, laundry backs up fast.
Most likely causes
- A failed drive motor
- A seized drum bearing
- A worn idler pulley
- A bad motor control board
- Failed motor coupling
Known LG dryer 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
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, 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.
