Why your Whirlpool washer is drum not turning

Quick check — and when it's not DIY
There's one thing worth checking before you book anyone: check whether the drum turns at all by hand with the unit unplugged, which tells you if it's electrical or mechanical. Also, confirm the door is closing and latching fully, since most units lock the drum if they don't sense a secure door. If none of that changes anything, 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.
