How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before accessing the motor or electronics.

  • Check drum for obstruction: Rotate the drum by hand to ensure it moves freely and no foreign object is trapped between drum and tub.
  • 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.
