How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before inspecting cords or internal wiring.

  • Check outlet and plug fit: Ensure the plug fits tightly in the outlet and there is no sign of heat damage or discoloration.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for kinks, cuts, or burn marks along the cord. Replace if any damage is found.
  • Avoid overloading: Heavy loads can overheat the motor. Reduce load size and see if the issue persists.
  • Internal inspection (advanced): Check internal connectors on the main PCB and filter board for looseness or signs of arcing. Reseat or replace as needed.
