How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before removing the rear panel.
- Inspect belt: Remove the rear panel and examine the belt for cracks, glazing, or fraying. Replace if worn.
- Clean pulleys: Wipe any oil or detergent residue from the motor and drum pulleys.
- Check alignment: Ensure the belt runs straight and the pulleys are not wobbling. A bent pulley or loose drum shaft requires professional repair.
