How to Fix Washer at Home
If electricity is flowing to the machine, it's possible that the motor has overheated. This is a safety feature, and it will start up again after it has cooled down. If this occurs frequently, a professional assessment to determine the cause may be required.
Check the lid switch to ensure it is correctly positioned and seated. This small plastic plate under the lid is a safety precaution that prevents the machine from operating until it is closed.
Another problem could be a clogged drain pump. To do so, you'll need to remove the washing machine's outer cabinet (some lift completely off, while others have removable front and back panels).
Remove the pump (together with the pump belt and three holding screws) to make sure it isn't stuck by a loose coin or sock. If this is the case, remove the impediment as soon as possible. Another problem could be that the impeller blades have cracked or that the motor has seized.
