Possible Causes
Broken or slipped drive belt, Worn motor brushes, Faulty motor, Loose motor connector
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect mains power before accessing the rear panel or motor.
- Check belt: Remove the rear panel and inspect the drive belt between the motor and drum pulley. If broken or off, replace with the correct Belling belt and ensure pulleys are aligned.
- Test drum movement: Spin the drum by hand. If it moves freely, the issue is likely motor-related rather than mechanical obstruction.
- Inspect motor brushes: On brushed motors, remove and inspect the carbon brushes. Replace if worn short or uneven.
- Check motor connector: Ensure the motor plug is fully seated and free of corrosion or burning.
- Motor test: If equipped and you are competent, test motor windings with a multimeter. Replace the motor if windings are open or shorted.
