Possible Causes
Unbalanced or overloaded drum, Worn or slipping drive belt, Weak drive motor, Faulty motor control on main PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing the rear panel or motor.
- Reduce and rebalance load: Remove some items and redistribute the remaining clothes evenly around the drum. Run a spin-only cycle.
- Check drain performance: Ensure the unit is draining fully; standing water will prevent high-speed spin.
- Inspect drive belt: Remove the rear panel and inspect the belt for glazing, cracks, or looseness. Replace if worn or stretched.
- Spin drum by hand: The drum should rotate smoothly. Grinding or stiffness may indicate bearing or tub issues.
- When to replace parts: Replace the drive belt if slipping. If the motor struggles or overheats, replace the drive motor. Persistent poor spin with good belt and motor may require main control board replacement.
