How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before inspecting the motor or belt.

  • Reduce load: Remove some laundry and try a spin-only cycle. Overloading can trigger motor protection.
  • Check drum for free movement: Rotate by hand to ensure no mechanical obstruction.
  • Inspect motor and belt (advanced): Remove rear panel, check belt condition, and inspect motor wiring. Replace worn brushes or damaged motor as needed.

If mechanical and motor components are fine, the control board may require professional diagnosis.
