Beko WM5100 drum not turning after move

The problem

A Beko WM5100 washing machine worked before being moved house, but afterwards it would fill and drain normally while the drum would not turn. The motor brushes were checked by the owner and reported as fine, with no obvious loose connections seen.

Likely cause

The accepted reply suggests damage in transit or a poor electrical connection caused by the move, possibly where the tub has swung and strained or struck wiring. No exact failed part was confirmed.

What fixed it

Inspect for signs that the moving tub has hit components or strained wiring during transport. As no obvious fault was found, the accepted advice was that the machine needs tracing with a test meter by an engineer to identify the failed connection or damaged part. The exact repair was not confirmed in the thread.
