Washing machine drum not turning — causes and repair in Tbilisi
If the machine fills with water but the drum does not turn during the wash, the problem is in the drum drive: the belt, the motor or its control. Sometimes something is simply blocking the drum.
We usually reply within 3–5 minutes during response hours.
Tell us what you need done and your district. A photo is optional.
You agree on the price and timing with the professional.
What you can check yourself
- unplug the machine and turn the empty drum by hand;
- if the drum is stuck, an object is probably caught between the drum and tub, or the bearings are damaged;
- if the drum turns too easily and you cannot hear the motor, it is probably the belt;
- if the motor hums but the drum does not move — brushes, motor or speed sensor.
Possible causes
- a broken or slipped belt;
- worn motor brushes;
- a faulty motor or speed sensor;
- an object stuck between the drum and the tub;
- the control module.
