Top Questions

How to repair your appliance? Experts will help you...

The other thing you need to check is the drain motor. Check if it is functioning properly. This means pulling the brake arm towards you, so that the brake belt moves away from the speed reducer housing and the rotating drum can freely turn on its own axis (the speed reducer housing). You may be wondering which capacitor you should replace, the large one at the back or the one on the board. Have you checked if the motor has power without the belt? Remove the belt and put it to work, using wood to load the pulley. If you feel that the motor lacks power, you should check the capacitor, the large one at the back, to see if it's the capacitor or the motor.
