Possible Causes
Door lock not engaging spin circuit, Worn or broken drive belt, Faulty motor or tachometer, Failed spin relay on control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before servicing. Spinning components can cause injury.
- 1. Confirm door locks: Start a spin cycle and listen for the door lock click. If the door does not lock, troubleshoot the door lock assembly.
- 2. Check belt and pulley: Access the drive system and inspect the belt and motor pulley. Replace a loose or broken belt.
- 3. Spin test by hand: Rotate the drum by hand. If it is very stiff or noisy, suspect bearing or brake issues.
- 4. Motor test: Run diagnostic mode (if available) to command a spin. If the motor does not run, test motor windings and wiring. Replace the motor if defective.
- 5. Control board: If motor and lock are good, the spin relay or drive circuit on the control board may have failed and require replacement.
