Possible Causes

Loose power cord or plug, Failing main control board, Overheating motor tripping internal protection, Loose wiring harness connections

Safety First: Unplug the washer before checking internal wiring.

Step 1 – Check outlet and plug: Ensure the plug fits tightly and the outlet is not loose. Avoid using extension cords.
Step 2 – Inspect wiring harnesses: Remove console and lower panels to check for loose or partially seated connectors at the control, motor, and pump.
Step 3 – Monitor motor temperature: If the washer stops during heavy loads and resumes after cooling, reduce load size and inspect motor and drive system for binding.
