You need to unplug that machine and not use it again until you figure out the issue. I would say it sounds almost 100% like you have a bad water pump. If the pump is getting wet or has a short in the coil, it will get hot and shut down. Bail out any water that is in the tub currently, and inspect that pump ASAP. if you continue to use it like this, you risk burning out the motor controller.

could be door catch or valve.

You need to replace the "lid lock switch". Here is a link to the part.

Had the same problem cleaned the terminals worked for a bit and came back. The problem is that the little circit board that the plug goes onto that sits between the winding of the motor the copper tracks are so small and they corrode. If you are handly with a solding iron you can replace the tracks with small wire, its mainly on one leg of each of the transistors that are all parrelled up. You can tell because it goes black. Or the easy way just take off the motor unpluging the sense plug then the three main power connectors Yellow, blue and red making sure you mark the correct order to put them back on. The sensor board just pulls out of the windings with a little arrow to but it back in the right place and buy the small board it has the part number on it to find it on the web. I only has three bits on it can't be expensive. Soldered mine up works a treat make sur you clean up the plug aswell, it mainly played up in humid weather.

the bearing could be bad

The the main board could be blown. This is only verifiable by using a meter to see if the pump is still at 33ohms and power going to the board 0418858347

Hi just read your posting.I have seen this problem many times before and the problem is all or some of your suspension rods are faulty.They will need replacing.They are not that expensive and if you purchase a set of them I will guide you step by step in the replacement of the rods.The problem on the rods is the rubber plungers wear and the rod reacts like a faulty car shock absorber.I am nearly 100% sure on my diagnosis but the only way to be sure is to look at the machine.Although this problem is nearly always caused by faulty suspension rods, sometimes when there is water loss in the balance ring on the bowl this has the same symptoms.Lift the lid and rock the bowl from side to side and you should hear water up top of the bowl which is your balance ring.Please reply on how you would like to proceed and I will help you as much as I can.Looking forward to your reply.
