Possible Causes

Faulty motor direction control on Equator PCB, Worn drive belt slipping at low speed, Motor winding failure for low-speed operation, Control board relay fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before inspection.

  • Check belt: Inspect the drive belt for glazing or looseness that may cause slipping at low speed. Replace if worn.
  • Observe operation: Start a wash cycle and listen for motor humming without drum movement. This suggests motor or control issues.

Because spin works but tumble does not, the problem is often in the motor windings or control board and typically requires technician service.
