Possible Causes

Overheating wash pump motor tripping overload, Loose power connections in Insinger control box, Faulty door/hood switch losing contact, Control board thermal failure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power and lock out before inspecting electrical components.

  • Check for overheating: After shutdown, feel the wash pump motor housing (carefully). If extremely hot, the motor may be overloading. Inspect for mechanical binding or replace the motor.
  • Inspect power connections: Tighten all line and neutral connections in the main terminal block and control box. Loose connections can cause intermittent shutdowns.
  • Door/hood switch: Observe whether slight movement of the door or hood causes the machine to stop. Replace or adjust the switch if contact is unreliable.
  • Control board: If all else checks out, the control board may be failing under heat. Replace with an Insinger-approved board.
