How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the washer before accessing internal components.
- Check pump wiring: Remove the lower front or rear panel to access the drain pump. Inspect the wiring connector for burns, corrosion, or looseness. Reseat the connector firmly.
- Test pump directly (advanced): For experienced users only: Disconnect the pump and briefly power it with a suitable test cord (using proper insulation and safety). If it does not run, replace the pump.
- Inspect control board area: Remove the top panel and locate the main control board. Look for signs of burning, moisture, or corrosion, especially near the pump output terminals.
- Reset and retest: After checking connections, reconnect power and run a drain/spin. If the pump is good but never energizes, the control board triac is likely faulty.
Control board repair or replacement is best handled by a professional technician.
