136. (10001 000) MOTOR STALL
The Motor Controller has been unable to start the motor.
Action
1.
Measure/check the motor harness connectors and motor for discontinuity. This can be done
by taking a resistance measurement between phases of the motor harness at the Motor Control
Module end. Nominal resistance should be around 12.2 ohm.
2.
Check free rotation of the agitator and basket by rotating by hand. Bearings and seals may be
seized.
3.
Check the Rotor Position Sensor and associated harness for water, mechanical damage or
corrosion.
4.
If the primary and secondary checks pass inspection then replace the Motor Control Module.
160. (10100 000) BASKET ENGAGED
The basket has re-engaged during agitate.
Action
1.
Check that the rotating basket assembly is not jammed to the agitator with any foreign object
that may be caught under the agitator skirt.
2.
Check that the clutch teeth are not locked together with dirt, lint, etc.
3.
Make sure the basket is not over-loaded with too many clothes for any particular water level.
4.
If none of the above appear to be at fault, then check the air bell at the bottom of the basket
for leaks.
5.
If the washer is empty of water at fault it is possible that the pump circuit is faulty and has
caused a pump out during wash. This would cause the basket to re-engage during agitate and
the Motor Control Module to display this fault. Replace Motor Control Module.
