🛠 Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Roadmap
Phase 1 – 15 min: Initial Checks
Spin drum by hand → moves freely = electrical issue.
Reset washer → unplug 10 min, plug back → check if code clears.
Phase 2 – 45 min: Physical Inspection
Open back panel.
Inspect drive belt → tighten/replace if frayed.
Sniff motor area → if burning smell persists, motor may be compromised.
Phase 3 – 60–90 min: Electrical Diagnosis
Use multimeter → test Hall Sensor (5–15 ohms = normal).
If faulty → replace sensor (~$25).
Reassemble → run test load with 2–3 towels.
