Washing-machine fault paths
For a washer that will not spin, drainage is checked before the motor is condemned because many machines inhibit spin while water remains in the drum. The technician may inspect the filter, pump operation, drain hose, pressure sensing, door lock, belt and motor feedback. A machine that drains normally but cannot accelerate has a different fault path from one that never empties.
For filling complaints, the external tap and hose are checked together with inlet filters, valve activation, pressure sensing and control output. For heating complaints, the element, temperature sensor, wiring, insulation condition and relevant control are considered. Each finding should connect to the cycle stage where the customer observed the failure.
