Samsung Washing Machine Drum Is Not Spinning — Possible Motor or Drive Belt Problems
Is your Samsung washing machine filling with water but leaving clothes soaking wet because the drum will not spin? The problem may be related to the drive system. A worn or broken drive belt can prevent the drum from rotating, while motor failure can cause humming, intermittent operation, or complete lack of movement. Depending on the Samsung model, the issue may also involve the motor control system, wiring, an obstruction, worn bearings, or an unbalanced load.
Before replacing any parts, the washer should be properly diagnosed. Different failures can produce similar symptoms, and replacing the wrong component can increase repair costs. If the drum remains stationary after checking the load, it is time to have the appliance inspected.
