How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer. Capacitors on the control board may retain charge; avoid touching board components directly.

Check motor for shorts: Disconnect the motor and measure resistance between each motor terminal and the motor frame. Any continuity indicates a short to ground; replace the motor.
Inspect harness: Look for melted insulation or burn marks on the motor wiring harness. Replace the harness if damaged.
Control board inspection: Remove the control module housing. Look for a burnt triac (three-legged component) or charred areas. If present, the board must be repaired or replaced.
Replace faulty components: Replace the motor if shorted. Replace or professionally repair the control module if the triac or tracks are damaged.
Re-test: After reassembly, run a spin cycle without laundry to verify operation.

Washer stops with E09; often during spin or high-speed operation.
