Possible Causes

Overloaded drum, Seized drum bearings increasing motor load, Shorted motor windings, Faulty motor control on PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before inspection.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Reduce load: Remove some laundry and try a spin-only cycle. Overloading can trigger motor overcurrent protection.
  • Check drum rotation by hand: With the machine off, spin the drum manually. It should rotate smoothly and quietly. Grinding or stiffness suggests bearing or foreign object issues.
  • Inspect motor and belt: Remove the rear panel and check that the belt is correctly tensioned and not jammed. Inspect the motor for burning smell or discoloration.

Note: If the drum is hard to turn or noisy, bearing replacement is required, which is a complex job. If the drum turns freely but E08 persists, motor or PCB diagnosis is needed.
