How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the washer before accessing the control area.
- Power reset: Unplug for 10–15 minutes, then reconnect and try a different program.
- Check ventilation: Ensure the control area is not blocked by insulation or debris causing overheating.
- Inspect connectors: Reseat the main PCB connectors and the door lock connector.
- Monitor pattern: Note if the stoppage always occurs at the same point (e.g. when heating or spinning). This can indicate a specific component fault (heater, motor, etc.) that should be tested.
If lock-ups persist, the control board may be failing and require replacement.
