Why your washer is drum not turning
The washer shows it plainly enough: the drum will not turn by hand either, which points at a seized bearing or roller rather than a broken belt. You can live with it for a while — the part causing it will not get better on its own.
Causes, in the order we check them
- 01An idler pulley that's worn out
- 02A drive motor at end of life
- 03A motor coupling that's failed
- 04A motor control board misfiring
- 05A drive belt that's broken
Quick checks worth doing
Do this before anything else: check whether the drum turns by hand at all with the unit unplugged — that tells you electrical versus mechanical. One more thing that narrows it: check whether the door or lid latches with an audible click, since most machines refuse to run without it. If it's still acting up after that, a seized bearing or failed coupling means pulling the drum partly clear of the cabinet, which isn't a DIY job without a proper lift.
First we test the washer end to end, so you're not paying to swap parts on a guess. The fault is confirmed by measurement before anything is replaced, so the repair addresses the cause rather than the symptom.
What St. Augustine's climate does to a washer
St. Augustine does not get a cold season long enough to give a washer a rest, and that shows up in the wear. Between salt and standing humidity, the seals and exposed steel age faster here than the same machine would inland. Our technicians know what St. Augustine's climate does to a washer, and we check those weak points while we're already on site.

Common questions
Answered before you call.
Do you guarantee your repairs?
We stand behind the work with an 18-month labor warranty and 90-day parts warranty — a recurrence in that time gets fixed again at no cost.
Will you tell me if it is not worth fixing?
We will say so. If the failure is one that takes a unit past sensible repair — a failed sealed system on an old cabinet, say — you get that assessment rather than a part you would replace again next year.
Are the parts genuine?
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.
How does the visit work?
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.
