Possible Causes
Clogged drain system causing retained water, Worn motor or belt slipping, Unbalanced load repeatedly aborting spin, Faulty speed sensor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before inspecting internal components.
- 1. Check for standing water: If water remains in the drum, follow drain pump troubleshooting (similar to E2) to clear blockages.
- 2. Run spin-only cycle: Try a spin-only program with a small, balanced load. Listen for the drum reaching high speed.
- 3. Inspect belt and motor: Remove the rear panel and check the belt for glazing or looseness. Replace if worn. Ensure the motor pulley is tight.
- 4. Check suspension: Excessive vibration can cause the control to reduce spin speed. Inspect and replace worn shocks or springs.
- 5. If mechanical parts are good: The hall sensor or control board may be limiting spin speed and may need replacement.
