This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Faulty dryer direction relay on PCB, Loose or damaged motor wiring specific to drying direction, Software control issue, Mechanical obstruction in drum

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before accessing the motor or control board.

Step-by-step checks:

Check for obstructions: Ensure no items are jammed between drum and seal.
Inspect motor wiring: Verify all motor connectors are secure and that no wires are broken.
Test in wash and dry: Observe whether the drum turns in wash but not in dry. If so, the issue is likely with the control board's dryer drive circuit.
