Possible Causes

Loose power cord connection, failing main control board, overheating motor tripping thermal protector, loose internal wiring

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the washer before inspecting internal wiring.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Check outlet and plug: Ensure the plug fits tightly in the outlet. Avoid using extension cords.
  • 2. Inspect internal connections: Remove the top or rear panel and check all harness connections to the control board and motor. Reseat any loose connectors.
  • 3. Overheating motor: If the washer stops during spin and restarts after cooling, the motor may be overheating. Check for overloading and proper ventilation. Replace the motor if overheating persists.
  • 4. Replace control board: If power drops only to the control (lights off) and wiring is secure, the main control board may be failing.
