Possible Causes

Loose mains connection or terminal block, Overheating motor with thermal cut-out, Faulty door switch losing contact, Defective control board relay

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before inspecting electrical connections.

  • 1. Check door switch: If the machine stops when the door is touched or moved, the door switch may be intermittent. Adjust or replace the door lock assembly.
  • 2. Inspect mains connections: Access the terminal block and ensure all wires are tight and free of burn marks.
  • 3. Monitor motor temperature: If the circulation pump is very hot when the machine stops, its thermal protector may be tripping. Replace the circulation pump if this recurs.
  • 4. Control board: If power and door switch are good, the control board may have an intermittent fault and require replacement.
