Likely Causes
  1. Motor relay on the control board has failed due to age or electrical overload
  2. Drive motor is drawing excessive current causing the relay to overheat
  3. Solder joints on the motor relay have cracked from thermal cycling
  4. A foreign object inside the drum is causing the motor to stall intermittently
How to Fix It
1
Disconnect power and check the drum for any foreign objects that may be causing resistance to motor rotation
2
Access the main control board and inspect the motor relay area for burn marks or discolored solder joints
3
Test the drive motor independently for proper resistance and free rotation of the rotor
4
If the motor is fine and the relay area shows damage, replace the main control board
5
After repair, run an empty calibration cycle to verify motor operation at all speeds
Pro Tip
This fix requires some technical knowledge. If you're unsure about any step, consider contacting support or a qualified technician.
