The drum is not spinning

Clarification Request

Posted by DickyIV1 on Jun 30, 2008

Hi.
Is it not turning at all, even during the wash part of the cycle, or is it just failing to spin quickly during the spin cycle?

Will the drum turn normally by hand when you have the door open for loading the washing ?

Can you see flashing blue lights under the machine when it ought to be spinning?

Any unusual sounds, sights or smells from the machine?

Answers to these questions will help us towards a possible solution. Thanks, D.

Hi Ken ( carboyken),
Your problem does sound like failed bearings to me, but I'm not sure whether its the drum bearings or the motor bearings. If you were to take off the drive belt or otherwise disconnect the drum from the motor that would help to pinpoint the problem. If the drum is still hard to turn when disconnected from the motor it points to the drum bearings. If not, then its likely the motor.
I hope this helps you. Get back if I can help you further. Cheers, D.
