Confirm It Is Working

Do Not Open the Machine
The first thing to do when your washing machine is acting up is not to open the machine. GBC Business Group, who are suppliers of other various commercial grade products, recommends shutting off the power immediately. The problem with this is that the weight of the door often makes it difficult to close. So you will need an extra set of hands to close it for you. In these cases, have someone else hold the door open as you remove any electrical components on or near the front panel. Unplug any cords connected to outlets in case there’s water inside. Now remove the faceplate that covers the washer drum and work on removing obstructions. Such as tangles in clothes or sock balls while simultaneously maintaining a steady grip on that heavy door.
Do Not Use Heavy Objects

Turn Off the Power Before Taking Apart
The most important thing to do before trying to fix your machine is turn off the power.
