Likely Causes
  1. Drive motor windings have failed (open or shorted)
  2. Motor start capacitor has lost capacitance and motor cannot start
  3. Motor bearings are seized preventing rotation
  4. Blower wheel is jammed with lint buildup causing motor stall
How to Fix It
1
Disconnect power and try to spin the drum by hand to check for mechanical binding
2
Remove the front panel and drum to access the motor and blower wheel assembly
3
Check if the blower wheel spins freely; clear any lint or debris if it is jammed
4
Test the motor windings with a multimeter for continuity (both start and run windings should show some resistance)
5
Replace the drive motor assembly if windings are open or bearings are seized
Pro Tip
This fix requires some technical knowledge. If you're unsure about any step, consider contacting support or a qualified technician.
