A washing machine may stop mid-cycle due to issues like overloading, a clogged drain, a faulty lid switch, or power disruptions. To resolve the issue, check for any error codes, ensure the lid is securely closed and locked, and confirm that the drain hose and pump filter are clear of obstructions. If the load is unbalanced, redistribute the items, and consider performing a power reset.

Common Problems and Solutions

• Overloading or Unbalanced Load: A large or unevenly distributed load can cause the machine to stop.
  Solution: Pause the cycle, remove some items to balance the load, and restart the machine.
• Lid Switch/Lock Problems: The washing machine won’t run if the lid switch or door lock is malfunctioning, as they are safety features.
  Solution: Ensure the lid is securely closed and locked. If the issue persists, the lid switch or lock mechanism may need replacement.
• Drainage Issues: A clogged drain hose or pump filter can prevent proper water drainage, causing the cycle to halt.
  Solution: Inspect the drain hose for kinks and remove any blockages from the pump filter, usually located at the bottom of the machine.
• Power Issues: A power interruption can stop the machine.
  Solution: Perform a power reset by unplugging the machine for a few minutes. Alternatively, use the "power drain" method by holding the start/pause button for 15 seconds while the machine is unplugged.
• Water Supply Problems: If the washing machine isn’t getting enough water, it will stop.
  Solution: Ensure that the water supply valves are fully open and that the water pressure is sufficient.
• Faulty Water Inlet Valve: Especially common in top-load machines, this can prevent the machine from filling correctly.
  Solution: If the valve is not functioning during the fill cycle, it may need replacing.
• Motor or Control Board Issues: A malfunctioning motor or control board can cause the machine to stop completely.
  Solution: These repairs are more complicated. Begin by checking for simpler issues. A faulty motor may make strange noises or fail to spin, while a control board issue is less frequent but can lead to a complete shutdown.

Before You Begin

• Check for Error Codes: Look for any error messages on the display panel for clues about the issue.
• Unplug the Appliance: Always unplug the washing machine before inspecting or repairing it, except when performing a power reset, which requires the machine to be plugged in.
