Possible Causes

Foreign object trapped between drum and tub, Seized drum bearings, Over-tightened drive belt, Motor overload due to mechanical resistance

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance. Do not force the drum if it is jammed.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Check drum rotation: Open the door and try to rotate the drum by hand. It should turn smoothly with slight resistance. Grinding or scraping noises suggest a foreign object or bearing issue.
  • Inspect for trapped objects: Shine a torch through the drum holes and around the door seal. Look for bra wires, coins, or screws. Carefully remove any visible items with pliers.
  • Check the drive belt: Remove the rear panel and inspect the belt. Ensure it is not twisted or excessively tight. Replace if frayed or damaged.
  • Spin the drum from the rear: Turn the drum pulley by hand. Roughness, rumbling, or side play indicates bearing wear or seizure.

If the drum is seized or bearings are noisy, bearing replacement or tub assembly replacement is required, which is a complex repair best handled by an experienced technician.
