I put a lot of clothes in the washing machine and because of this the washing machine try to spin but didn't succeed to spin and this make a short circuit that make the big cylinder that have inside all the clothes to don't turn but the water inside and outside of the washing machine continue to work so now the motor don't rotate the big cylinder that inside there are the clothes

I think that the fuze that charge of activate the motor that rotate the big cylinder with the clothes inside was burn

my problem is that I don't know where is this fuse located inside the washing machine so I take some pictures of the washing machine and I hope one of you can tell me where is this fuse, how I can check this fuse and change it

AI-generated from this discussion

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.

Drum not rotating after overload; internal fuse not identified

The problem
After the machine was overloaded, it tried to spin but failed. The drum then stopped rotating, although water functions continued to operate. The user suspected a fuse for the drum motor had blown and asked where it was located.
Likely cause
The accepted reply states there is not usually a fuse inside a washing machine for this fault. The most strongly supported diagnosis is that the motor may have caused damage to something on the main PCB. The exact failed component was not confirmed.
What fixed it
No internal motor fuse location was identified because the accepted answer says there usually is not one. The recommended action from the discussion is to consider a fault on the main PCB rather than looking for a separate fuse. The exact repair was not confirmed.
Checks to try
  • Observed that the drum would not rotate
  • Observed that water functions continued to work
  • Advised that if a fuse were present it would usually be an obvious glass fuse with a visible wire
Parts or tools mentioned
  • main PCB
  • glass fuse

Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Hello. There isn't usually a fuse inside a washing machine. The motor could have have blown something in the main PCB. If there was it would normally be an obvious fuse, usually made of see through glass where you could see the small fuse wire.
