If you can hear the motor running but the drum is not turning, there are a few likely causes.
Common Causes
Drive Belt Snapped or Slipped
The drive belt wraps around the drum and is turned by the motor. Over time it stretches and eventually breaks. Replacing the belt typically costs £80–£130.
Motor Failure
A faulty motor may hum but fail to turn. Replacement costs £120–£200.
Capacitor Fault
The motor capacitor gives the motor its starting boost. A failed capacitor is a cheap fix — usually £60–£80 all in.
