Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before servicing the motor.
- Check harness: Locate the smaller tach connector on the Insignia motor and ensure it is fully seated.
- Inspect wiring: Look for broken or pinched wires between motor and control board.
- Test tach sensor: With a multimeter, measure resistance across tach terminals. An open circuit indicates failure.
- Replace motor assembly: If the tach is integrated into the motor and is faulty, replace the entire motor assembly.
- Control board check: If tach and wiring are good, the control board may not be processing the signal correctly and may need replacement.
