WashR PRO | When I switch on the unit, the motor hums but does not run

If your WashR PRO motor hums when you turn it on but doesn’t actually run, it’s usually a power or pump issue. Below are the most likely causes — and how to fix them fast.

 

Possible Cause What You Can Do
Mains voltage is too low Check that your power supply meets the required voltage. Avoid using outlets on long circuits or overloaded boards.
Pump is stuck or frozen Turn off the unit and try rotating the motor manually using the shaft (refer to your manual). If it won’t move, contact support.
Incorrect extension cable used Use only an Extra Heavy Duty extension cord (IPX5-rated). Undersized cords can cause voltage drop and humming.

Still humming? If none of these solve the issue, get in touch with our customer support team — we’ll help diagnose and get your WashR PRO running again.
