Spin control on the W3831 WPS depends on the tacho generator telling the board how fast the drum is actually turning. When that signal degrades, the machine surges, hunts, or abandons the spin altogether – behavior that looks alarming but rarely means the motor itself is damaged. It is a small sensor at the back of the motor and a well-defined repair once it has been correctly identified.
