Hello!
I have been given an LG Direct Drive washing machine, model number WM-14225FD
Although the drum turns freely (It will turn for a good 6 seconds if i turn it round hard with the door open) when the motor tries to turn it, it doesn't turn, instead it makes a kind of squealing noise.
If I take the back off and get it spinning just before it tries to turn the drum, it will continue to rotate, but it makes a right racket.
Here is a 2MB video demonstrating it turning clockwise (as you look at it from the back) when helped at first, then it trying to turn it the other way, but just squealing.
Any input is appreciated :-)
