Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before inspection.
- Check for overload: Remove excess laundry and run a test spin with a small load.
- Inspect mechanical components: Spin the drum by hand and listen for bearing noise or scraping. Check the belt and pulleys for smooth operation.
- Test motor windings: Compare resistance between all motor phases. Significant imbalance suggests a failing motor.
- Replace motor or control: Replace the drive motor if windings are out of spec. If the motor is good, the motor control board may be misreading current and should be replaced.
