How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before accessing the rear panel or motor.
- Check drum by hand: Rotate the drum manually. If it spins freely and quietly, the issue is likely electrical or belt-related.
- Inspect drive belt (if equipped): Remove the rear panel and check if the belt is off the pulley, frayed, or broken. Refit or replace the belt as needed.
- Examine motor connections: Ensure the motor plug is fully seated and free of corrosion or burn marks.
- Advanced testing: If the belt and wiring are good, test the motor windings and inverter output with a multimeter according to the service manual. Replace the motor or inverter board if defective.
