Common Symptoms

• Clothes are soaking wet after cycle completes
• Washer stops mid-cycle and won’t continue
• Error code F01, F06, or F07 appears
• Loud noise during spin attempt
• Washer vibrates excessively

What Causes This Problem?

• Broken drive belt – Belt snapped or slipped off pulley
• Faulty door/lid switch – Washer won’t spin if lid is open
• Failed motor control board – Electronic control failure
• Worn motor coupler – Plastic coupler between motor and transmission
• Overloaded washer – Too many clothes prevent spinning

DIY Troubleshooting Steps

1. Check lid/door switch – Press down and listen for click
2. Redistribute load evenly – Unbalanced load prevents spin
3. Reset washer – Unplug for 5-10 minutes
4. Check for error codes – Note any codes displayed
5. Run rinse & spin cycle – Test spin independently

When to Call a Professional

• Belt needs replacement
• Motor or control board issues
• Strange burning smell
