Drum will not turn - Whirlpool Duet GHW9150P Front Load Washer

ok,push the drum back. and with the brake adjuster try to close the brake shoes, at the adjuster bolt, when you turn the bolt brake adjuster and turns and makes little noise you are opening the brake shoes, try turning the other way to close the brake shoes (to turn that way you have to push the stop lever by a little screwdriver to turn it back.

Sir/Mam the Drum Motor is failing to turn the drum it self mite be jammed. Not allowing the motor to turn . Remove the drum cartridge. And see if you can turn the drum with your fingers DO NOT TOUCH The color part of the drum turn by both thumbs on the edge of the drum TURN CLOCKWISE if you turn Counter clockwise you will flip the cleaning blade that is not good. The cleaning blade removes the old toner before the new image is placed on the drum if it looks yellow then get a new one and replace it. IF you think the drum is stuck to the cleaning blade then for about a half inch push the drum counter clockwise the then clockwise. Also might remove he drum to see if its jammed. Also the motor might be bad or the circuit board that replaces it.

Hope this works for youH

Glad you got it fixed!

Sounds like something became wedged against the drum. Maybe a bearing?

If it is a sound like a loud hum, the motor is either fried or something is jammed preventing the drum from turning. It could be something like a sock. You just have to open things up and look around carefully, especially around the outside of the drum.

If the noise is a more normal one but the drum is not turning, check that the belt is around the drum and not broken. Some drums are just fairly hard to turn by hand, partcularly if the belt is still around the drum.

Try to remove drum belt, and then turn drum by hand, if it does not turn , then you have either siezed drum bearigs, or some thing jammed between the inner and outer drum
If drum turns freely, then check motor to see if it is free to turn.
Please rate my solution.
Thanks.

Sounds like you've got something stuck in between the drum and tub the best way to check is through the heater at the rear of the machine. Could also be the motor or drum bearings have seized if its the drum bearings there's usually brown oil coming from the back of the drum. Take the belt off to see if either the drum or motor can be turned manualy. hope this helps.

Too much drag on the Drum. Try lubricating the rollers that the drum turns on. Check the belt tensioner pully...lubricate that as necessary. If Drum still turns very hard after this then take belt off of motor and try turning drum. If drum turns easily then replace motor.

drum has worn drum bearing dryer top AND rear panel must be removed to acess the rear of drum to replace drum
