How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before internal checks.

  • Redistribute load: Open the door and redistribute heavy items (e.g., towels, duvets). Remove some items if the drum is overfilled, then restart spin.
  • Check drain: Ensure the pump filter and drain hose are clear so water can be fully removed before spin.
  • Observe for error codes: If codes appear, follow the relevant motor or tachometer diagnostics.
  • Motor and tach check: Inspect motor brushes and tachometer as described in motor-related entries. Replace worn brushes or faulty tachometer.
