Washer motor running but drum not moving? Check the motor coupling

A motor coupling usually has two hubs, one on the motor and one on the transmission, with a rubber or plastic insert between them that cushions the drive. When an overloaded or jammed drum puts too much strain on it, the insert wears or shears. You'll hear the motor running, but the machine won't agitate or spin, or does so weakly. Grinding or knocking from underneath, and small bits of rubber or plastic on the floor under the machine, are classic signs.

Fitting a motor coupling

Unplug the washer and turn off both taps. Depending on the machine, access is from the back or by tipping it, and the motor usually has to come off to reach the coupling halves. Clean any broken pieces out of the cabinet so they can't jam anything later. Fit the new coupling with the hubs fully seated, then run an empty cycle to check for noise and proper agitation.
