Quick check — and when it's not DIY
There's one thing worth checking before you book anyone: make sure the door or lid is latching fully — most units won't spin at all if the safety switch doesn't detect a closed door. Also, check the drive belt is still on and intact if it's visible from underneath. Should that not clear it, if the door's closing fine, it's a belt, motor, or bearing problem inside the cabinet, and those repairs need the unit opened up on a bench, not fixed in place.
How we fix it
