Signs of a Belt, Motor or Drum Problem
- Drum does not turn, but you hear the motor
- Burning rubber smell during a cycle
- Loud banging or rumbling in the spin cycle
- Washer fills and drains but will not agitate
- Drum feels loose or wobbles by hand
A worn or snapped drive belt is one of the most common washer repairs and is usually quick to fix. If the belt is fine, we test the drive motor, motor control board, coupler and drum bearings.
Loud rumbling that gets worse on spin often points to worn tub bearings. That is a bigger repair, so we explain the cost next to the age of your washer and let you decide whether repair or replacement is the better choice.

Washer Belt and Motor FAQs
If the motor hums but the drum does not move, or you smell burning rubber, the belt is a likely cause. We confirm by inspecting the belt and pulleys.
Motors cost more than belts, but it depends on the brand and motor type. Sometimes the motor control board is the real fault, which can be cheaper. We test before quoting.
Common causes are an unbalanced load, worn shock absorbers or suspension springs, or worn drum bearings. Bearings get louder over time and should be checked early.
