How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before inspecting electrical connections.
- Check power cord and plug: Ensure the plug fits tightly in the socket and the cord is not strained or damaged.
- Inspect door switch: Wiggle the door gently during operation (with caution) to see if the machine stops, indicating a poor door switch contact.
- Check for overheating: If the machine stops after long periods and restarts after cooling, the motor or heater may be overheating. Inspect for blocked cooling paths or failing components.
- Board inspection: Look for dry joints or heat-damaged areas on the control board; replacement may be required.
