Possible Causes
Broken or slipped drive belt, faulty drive motor, loose motor connector, failed motor control circuit.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before accessing the rear panel.
- Check drum by hand: Rotate the drum manually. If it spins freely, the belt or motor is suspect.
- Inspect drive belt: Remove the rear panel and check if the belt is off or broken. Refit or replace it with a Bosch-compatible belt.
- Check motor wiring: Ensure the motor plug is fully seated and the wires are intact.
- Test motor: If the belt is fine, test the motor windings with a multimeter. Replace the motor if it is open or shorted.
