Possible Causes

Safety first: Unplug the washer before accessing the motor.

Check sensor connector: Locate the hall/tach sensor on the motor and ensure its connector is firmly attached.
Inspect sensor and magnet: Look for cracks or damage to the sensor body and the rotor magnet ring. Replace the sensor or rotor if damaged.
Test sensor output: Using a multimeter or oscilloscope, verify that the sensor produces pulses when the motor shaft is rotated. Replace if no signal.
