In some cases a foreign object may have become lodged in the drum mechanism, preventing the motor from turning it.
Wiring fault
Wiring between the motor and the control board may be loose, damaged or broken, preventing the motor from receiving power.
Safe Checks You Can Try

Open the door and check that no laundry or foreign object is preventing the drum from turning. Try rotating the drum by hand to see if it moves freely.
