How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before accessing the motor or belt.

  • Listen for motor noise: If you hear the motor humming but the drum does not move, suspect a broken belt or jammed drum.
  • Inspect belt: Remove the rear panel and check if the belt is off the pulley or broken. Replace with a Haier-compatible belt if needed.
  • Check drum movement: Rotate the drum by hand. If it is stiff or grinding, inspect bearings and for foreign objects.
  • Test motor and capacitor: Use a multimeter to check motor windings and the start capacitor (if present). Replace faulty parts.
