How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the appliance. The drum and motor can move unexpectedly.
- 1. Check drum movement: Rotate the drum by hand. It should move smoothly without grinding or seizing.
- 2. Inspect motor connections: Remove the rear panel, locate the drive motor, and ensure the wiring plug is fully seated.
- 3. Inspect brushes (if applicable): On brush-type motors, remove the motor and check carbon brushes for wear. Replace if they are very short or uneven.
If wiring and brushes are good, the motor or control board may be faulty. Further diagnosis with a multimeter is recommended for experienced users or technicians.
