Safety first: Unplug the appliance. PCB work involves exposure to mains circuitry; if unsure, use a professional.

Step 1 – Visual inspection of motor: Remove rear panel and inspect motor for signs of overheating or burning. If the motor smells burnt or shows melted insulation, replace the motor before addressing PCB.
Step 2 – Check wiring harness: Trace the motor harness from motor to PCB. Look for crushed, chafed, or melted wires that could cause shorts. Repair or replace damaged sections.
Step 3 – Inspect PCB: Remove the control PCB housing. Look for burnt components, especially around the motor triac or power devices. Burn marks or cracked components indicate PCB failure.
Step 4 – Component-level repair (advanced): Skilled technicians may replace the triac and repair tracks. For most users, replacing the entire main control PCB with a compatible Logik board is safer and more reliable.
Step 5 – Re-test: After replacing the faulty component (motor or PCB), reassemble, reconnect, and run a short cycle to confirm E09 is cleared.

Washer-dryer stops mid-cycle with E09; may be associated with motor not running at all.
