does this drum go round, if not replace the capacitor which in most models is fastened to the main motor, if this doesn't cure the fault you could be looking at a replacement motor, assuming you have checked for any jamming of the drum, does it rotate be hand as well

a working motor will just buzz if the drum is jammed

hope i have helped, if so please rate me well
