How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before testing switches or accessing internal parts.
- Check lid lock: Confirm the lid locks when spin should start. If not, test the lid switch/lock for continuity and replace if faulty.
- Rebalance load: Remove some items and redistribute remaining clothes evenly. Run a spin-only cycle.
- Check for error indicators: Some models flash specific LEDs for out-of-balance; consult the user guide.
- Inspect motor and control: If drain works but motor never ramps to spin, the motor or control board may be defective and require replacement.
