Washer-dryer fails to reach or maintain spin speed; E08 displayed during spin phase

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before internal inspection. Do not run the machine with panels removed.

Step-by-step checks:

• 1. Rebalance the load:
  • Open the door once safe and redistribute laundry evenly around the drum.
  • Avoid single heavy items (e.g., one bath mat); add a few smaller items to balance.
  • Restart the spin or program.
• 2. Inspect suspension and shocks:
  • Remove the rear or side panel to view the tub.
  • Check shock absorbers for oil leakage, broken mounts, or excessive play.
  • Replace worn shock absorbers in pairs.
• 3. Check tachometer and motor:
  • Inspect the tach sensor on the motor and its wiring.
  • Measure tach coil resistance; replace motor if open or intermittent.
• 4. Control module:
  • If mechanical components are fine and E08 persists, the control module may misinterpret speed feedback.
  • Module replacement may be required.

When to call a technician: If vibration is severe or if motor control faults are suspected, professional diagnosis is recommended.
