How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before internal checks.
- Reset program: Turn the selector to Off, wait 1–2 minutes, then select and start a new program.
- Check basic functions: Confirm that the machine can fill, heat, rotate, and drain. If one of these functions fails, troubleshoot that subsystem (inlet, heater, motor, pump).
- Inspect wiring: Look for loose connectors on key components (heater, motor, pump, sensors) and reseat them.
- Firmware/control issue: If all hardware checks out but stalling persists, the main PCB may require replacement or reprogramming by a technician.
