Hisense Electrical Overload / Short Circuit

Washer causes lights to flicker or trips the circuit breaker when starting

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

Shorted motor or heater, Faulty mains filter, Overloaded electrical circuit, Internal wiring short to chassis

Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a tripping breaker. Unplug the washer and avoid using the outlet until inspected.

Check circuit load: Ensure the washer is on a dedicated circuit where possible.
Inspect cord and plug: Look for burn marks or melting. Replace if damaged.
Internal inspection (advanced): With power disconnected, inspect the heater, motor, and wiring for visible shorts or burns.
Professional service: Electrical shorts can be hazardous; have a qualified technician test and replace the faulty component.
