How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before internal inspection.
- Ventilation: Ensure the washer has adequate space around it for cooling and that vents are not blocked.
- Check power cord and plug: Inspect for loose fit in the outlet or signs of overheating.
- Motor temperature: After a stop, carefully feel the motor area (without touching live parts). If extremely hot, the motor may be overheating and tripping internal protection; replacement may be needed.
