Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Disconnect power and secure the washer to prevent tipping while working at the rear.
Step-by-step checks:
- Access motor: Remove the rear panel and locate the drive motor.
- Inspect tach connector: Identify the smaller tachometer connector on the motor (if separate) and ensure it is fully seated and not corroded.
- Test tach coil: Measure resistance across the tach terminals. Compare it to the service specification (often 100–200 Ω). Spin the motor shaft by hand and verify that a small AC voltage is generated.
- Check magnet: Inspect the motor shaft magnet or rotor for cracks or dislodgement.
When to replace: Replace the drive motor if the tach coil or magnet is defective. If the motor tests functional, suspect the motor control or main control board.
