Possible Causes
Water leak onto electrical components, Shorted Hisense heating element, Damaged power cord, Faulty motor or PCB shorting to chassis
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a breaker that trips immediately. Unplug the appliance and leave it disconnected until the fault is found.
- Check for leaks: Inspect around and under the machine for signs of water. Repair leaks before further use.
- Visual inspection: With panels removed and power disconnected, look for burned wires, scorch marks, or melted connectors.
- Isolate components (advanced): A technician can disconnect the heater, motor, and other loads one by one to identify the faulty component. Common culprits are the wash heater and motor.
- Replace faulty parts: Replace any shorted Hisense heater, motor, or damaged wiring harness. If the PCB is burned, replace the main control board.
