Why your washer is drum not turning
When a washer is drum not turning, here's what you'll usually notice: motor hums but drum stays still. Drive belt, idler pulley, or motor coupling. The usual culprit is a worn idler pulley. Left unaddressed, laundry backs up fast.
Most likely causes
- A failed drive motor
- A worn idler pulley
- A bad motor control board
- Failed motor coupling
- A seized drum bearing
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
One thing you can rule out on your own: 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.
