Why your washer is drum not turning
Here's how drum not turning typically presents on a washer: motor hums but drum stays still. Drive belt, idler pulley, or motor coupling. The usual culprit is a seized drum bearing. Left unaddressed, laundry backs up fast.
Most likely causes
- A worn idler pulley
- Broken drive belt
- A bad motor control board
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Before you call anyone, 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. Should that not clear it, 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.

First we diagnose the washer end to end, so you're not paying to swap parts on a guess. Genuine OEM parts for all major washer brands ride on the truck, so the fix usually happens the same day. Most drum not turning jobs finish same-day, at a flat price, under our warranty.
