Well, the first thing you want to do is to see if the drum will turn easily by hand when the machine is off. If so, get someone to help you and while the press the start buttom turn the drum while pushing in the door switch and see if it will start up. If so, the motor probably is bad. If the drum does not turn easily open up the machine and check the rear bearing, which regularly fails on these models. Here is that part. Part number: AP2142648
