Washer Drum Not Turning in Ponte Vedra, FL
The motor hums for the full cycle but the drum never moves, and it turns freely by hand with the power off on the washer. You can live with it for a while — the part causing it will not get better on its own.

Why your washer is drum not turning
On the washer: the drum will not turn by hand either, which points at a seized bearing or roller rather than a broken belt.
Causes, in the order we check them
- 01A drum bearing that's seized
- 02A motor coupling that's failed
- 03An idler pulley that's worn out
- 04A motor control board misfiring
- 05A drive motor at end of life
Quick checks worth doing
There's a two-minute check worth doing first: confirm the door's closing and latching fully, since most units lock the drum out if they don't sense a secure door. The measurement worth taking: run a short empty cycle and note exactly which stage the fault appears at. Past that point, if the door's fine, it's a belt, coupler, or motor issue inside the cabinet, and reaching those means partial teardown — not a first attempt without the right tools.
The visit starts with measurements, not guesses — the washer gets tested before any part is named. Drum not turning has more than one possible cause, and telling them apart is what the on-site diagnosis is for.
What Ponte Vedra's climate does to a washer
Ask a Ponte Vedra technician what shortens a washer's service life here, and heat and humidity top the list. Salt accelerates corrosion on the cabinet and exposed fasteners, while the ambient damp keeps the gasket from ever fully drying between cycles. Every technician on our team checks for that wear on a Ponte Vedra call as a matter of course, not as an upsell.

Common questions
Answered before you call.
Where do the replacement parts come from?
We fit OEM parts wherever the repair calls for them. Where a manufacturer part is discontinued we say so, and explain what the alternative is before fitting it.
Do you guarantee your repairs?
Every repair carries an 18-month labor warranty and a 90-day parts warranty. If the same issue returns in that window, we come back at no charge.
What does the diagnosis involve?
First the fault is reproduced and measured, then you get an explanation of the failure in plain terms and what putting it right requires. Nothing is replaced on a guess.
Will you tell me if it is not worth fixing?
Yes. Some failures cost more to put right than the remaining life of the unit justifies, and a technician who has just measured the fault is the person best placed to tell you which case you are in.
