Applies to all models
EFLS627UTTEFLW427UIWELFW7537AWELFW7637ATELTW7637AT
Likely Causes
  1. Drive motor windings have a partial short circuit drawing excessive current through the inverter
  2. Inverter board power transistors (IGBTs) are degraded and not switching efficiently
  3. Voltage supply to the inverter is abnormally high due to household wiring issues
  4. Motor bearings are worn causing increased mechanical load and current draw
How to Fix It
1
Disconnect power and access the drive motor by removing the rear panel
2
Spin the drum by hand to check for grinding or roughness in the motor bearings
3
Test the motor windings for resistance between each pair of terminals; all readings should be equal and within specification
4
Inspect the inverter board for any visible damage to power transistors or heat sinks
5
Replace the inverter board if it shows damage; replace the motor if bearings are worn or windings are shorted
Pro Tip
This fix requires some technical knowledge. If you're unsure about any step, consider contacting support or a qualified technician.
