How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before removing the rear panel or touching the motor.
Step-by-step:
- Access motor: Remove the rear panel to expose the drive motor and belt.
- Inspect harness: Check the motor connector and wiring for looseness, corrosion, or damage. Reseat the connector.
- Check belt and drum: Ensure the belt is intact and the drum spins freely by hand without binding.
- Component replacement: If wiring is good and the drum turns freely but F25 persists, the motor tachometer or MCU is likely faulty. Replace the drive motor or motor control board as indicated by model diagnostics.
