Possible Causes
Failed Hall sensor, Loose motor harness, Damaged stator, Main PCB motor drive fault
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before accessing the motor.
- Inspect wiring: Remove rear panel and check the harness from the main PCB to the stator and Hall sensor for loose or damaged connectors.
- Check rotor and stator: Ensure the rotor bolt is tight and the rotor is not wobbling. Inspect stator windings for burn marks.
- Replace Hall sensor: If wiring is intact, replace the rotor position (Hall) sensor mounted on the stator.
- PCB diagnosis: If SE persists after sensor replacement, the main PCB motor drive may be defective and require professional service.
