Possible Causes

Failed tachometer sensor on the motor, Broken tachometer wiring, Loose tachometer connector, Faulty motor control circuit

Safety First: Unplug the washer before servicing the motor.
Check Harness: Locate the smaller tachometer connector on the Insignia motor and ensure it is fully seated.
Inspect Wiring: Look for broken or pinched wires between the motor and control board.
Test Tachometer Sensor: With a multimeter, measure resistance across the tachometer terminals. An open circuit indicates failure.
Replace Motor Assembly: If the tachometer is integrated into the motor and is faulty, replace the entire motor assembly.
Control Board Check: If the tachometer and wiring are good, the control board may not be processing the signal correctly and may need replacement.
