Why your LG dryer is drum not turning
On a LG dryer, drum not turning usually announces itself like this: 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 failed drive motor
- Failed motor coupling
- A seized drum bearing
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
Before you call anyone, 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.

Genuine LG OEM parts are widely available through authorized distributors, but sealed-system refrigerant repairs (including linear compressors) require an experienced technician.
