Possible Causes
Foreign object jammed between drum and tub, Seized drum bearings, Overloaded drum, Faulty motor start circuit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer. Do not force the drum if it is jammed.
Step-by-step checks:
- Check drum movement: Try to rotate the drum by hand. If stuck, check for foreign objects (bra wires, coins) using a flashlight.
- Remove foreign objects: Pull out visible objects. If trapped, remove the heater to gain access.
- Check load size: Try a spin-only cycle with a smaller, balanced load.
- Inspect bearings: If the drum is very stiff or noisy, bearings may be seized.
If no blockage is found, the motor or PCB drive circuit may be faulty.
