How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer and turn off water supply.

Step-by-step (dispenser-related models):

  • Inspect dispenser motor: Access the top of the dispenser assembly, check the motor and cam for jams or broken parts.
  • Test motor: Measure resistance and replace if open or seized.

Step-by-step (load-sensor-related models):

  • Check suspension: Ensure the tub is properly supported and not resting on the cabinet.
  • Inspect load sensor: Locate the load/weight sensor (often near suspension or base) and check wiring and mounting.
