How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before removing panels.
- Check belt: Remove the rear panel and inspect the belt. If it is off the pulleys or broken, refit or replace with a Brandt-compatible belt.
- Inspect motor connector: Ensure the motor plug is fully seated and wires are intact.
- Check motor brushes (if applicable): On brushed motors, remove the brushes and inspect their length. Replace if worn below manufacturer limits.
