Help with a Panasonic NA16VG1! Not spinning
Hi everyone
I wondered if you could help with an error message I just got on our machine. We can turn it on, all works fine but the machine doesn't spin or turn. I've opened it up, the belt is intact but just not turning so may be the motor?
So it's coming up as h07 error which says that the there is a error with the motor or pcb. I'm leaning to the motor rather then pcb as it turns on okay?
The machine is 7 yearsold, and as it's a Saturday I haven't had a chance to get a quote for repair but is it worth a repair or replacement?
Thank you in advance!

Panasonic NA16VG1 H07 error, drum not spinning
- The problem
- Panasonic NA16VG1 washing machine powers on normally but the drum does not spin or turn. The belt was checked and reported intact. The display showed fault code H07.
- Likely cause
- The discussion supports a motor-related fault or a PCB fault on the motor circuit. A worn motor carbon brush was suggested as a possible motor-side cause, but the exact fault was not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- No confirmed repair was documented. The accepted advice was that the fault cannot be identified from the symptoms alone because the machine can still power up even if the PCB has a motor-circuit fault. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
- Checks to try
- Belt checked and found intact
- Fault code H07 displayed
- Machine powers on but drum does not spin or turn
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Motor
- PCB
- Carbon brushes
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Both motor and pcb can be expensive. Motor fault could just be carbon brushes which would t be too bad. The machine would still turn on and function ok if the pcb has a fault on the motor circuit so you can’t know what the issue is without an engineer looking at it.
