How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the appliance before removing panels.

  • 1. Check drum by hand: Rotate the drum manually. If it spins very freely with little resistance, the belt may be broken or off.
  • 2. Inspect belt: Remove the rear panel and look for a loose or broken belt. Refit or replace as needed, ensuring correct alignment on the motor and drum pulleys.
  • 3. Check motor connections: Ensure the motor plug is fully seated.

If the belt is intact and the motor receives power but does not run, the motor or control board may be faulty and require professional diagnosis.
