Possible Causes
Unbalanced load causing spin abort, clogged drain pump or hose, worn drive belt, faulty motor or tachometer, pressure switch not resetting to empty
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing internal components. Water may be present in hoses.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Run drain and spin: Select a drain/spin cycle with no extra rinse. If the drum drains but does not reach high speed, continue with checks.
- 2. Check for error codes: Even if not displayed, enter diagnostic mode (per tech sheet) to see stored codes like F21 or F25 that can guide you.
- 3. Inspect drain system: Clean the pump filter and check the drain hose for blockages as described under F21.
- 4. Check belt and motor: Inspect the drive belt for wear and tension. Replace if loose or glazed. Verify the motor runs smoothly.
- 5. Pressure switch: If the control thinks water is still present, it may not allow high-speed spin. Inspect the pressure hose and switch as under F10.
