The washer might stop mid-cycle as a precautionary measure to prevent damage to components. Here’s how you can resolve it:
- Check the laundry load. Distribute it evenly and ensure the lid is properly closed.
- Ensure the washer is level and that there is sufficient water in the tub based on the load size to avoid imbalance.
- Confirm that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical socket.
- Check the circuit breaker or fuse in the fuse box and reset it if necessary.
- Inspect the drain hoses for kinks or bends and the drain system for clogs that might obstruct drainage.
- Restart the machine by selecting the desired cycle, turning the control knob, closing the lid, and pulling out the knob. (For safety, the washer will not stir or spin unless the lid is closed.)
- If the machine is in soak or pause mode, as per your settings, wait for it to resume automatically.
- A malfunctioning lid switch may be interrupting the cycle. This safety feature stops operation when the lid is open and will need repair or replacement if faulty.
