How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before internal checks.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Check for error codes:
    • Even if none are displayed, note any flashing indicators.
  • 2. Verify drainage:
    • Ensure the pump filter is clean and water drains quickly.
    • Run a drain/spin program and observe.
  • 3. Rebalance load:
    • Redistribute laundry and run a spin-only cycle.
  • 4. Motor and tachometer:
    • If the drum does not accelerate to high speed, check motor brushes (if applicable) and tach sensor as described in motor fault entries.

When to call a technician: If mechanical and load issues are ruled out, control or motor faults require professional diagnosis.
