How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before internal inspection.
- 1. Reduce load:
- Remove some items and restart the cycle.
- Avoid washing heavy rugs or large blankets alone.
- 2. Check drum movement:
- Spin the drum by hand; it should move freely without grinding.
- Grinding or stiffness indicates bearing or foreign object issues.
- 3. Inspect motor and stator:
- Remove the rear panel and rotor.
- Check stator windings for burn marks.
- Test for shorts with a multimeter; replace stator if defective.
- 4. Control board:
- If mechanical and motor components are good, the main PCB may be mis-sensing current; technician service is recommended.
