How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the washer before accessing the rear or bottom.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Check belt and pulley: On belt-driven Inglis models, remove the rear panel and inspect the drive belt for wear, glazing, or breakage. Replace if loose or damaged.
- 2. Inspect motor connections: Ensure the motor connector is fully seated and wires are not damaged.
- 3. Spin drum by hand: Confirm the drum rotates smoothly. Binding indicates bearing or foreign object issues.
- 4. If mechanical parts are fine: The motor or control board may be failing. Replace the drive motor first if it shows signs of overheating or abnormal noise, then the control board if needed.
