How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before accessing the motor or electronics.

- Inspect motor and wiring: Remove the rear panel, check the inverter motor and harness for damage or signs of overheating.
- Test motor windings: Measure resistance between motor phases; large imbalances or shorts indicate a bad motor.
- Professional repair: Inverter and motor faults often require replacement of the Bosch inverter motor and/or power module by a qualified technician.
