Quick check — and when it's not DIY
There's one thing worth checking before you book 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. 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.
