How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before removing panels.
- Check for error messages: Even if no code is shown, note any flashing lights or patterns that may indicate imbalance.
- Verify drainage: Ensure the drum fully drains by checking the drain pump filter and hose for blockages.
- Redistribute load: Run a spin-only cycle with the load redistributed or with fewer items.
- Inspect belt: Remove the rear panel and check the drive belt for slipping, glazing, or stretching. Replace if loose or worn.
- Check motor/tach: If belt is good and drainage is clear, test the motor and tach sensor as described in speed error diagnostics. Replace faulty components.
