The machine turns once and then stop

The cause of the Defy 600 machine turning once and then stopping could be related to a water level issue or a power supply problem to the water pump. If the water pump cannot get power and there are no visible loose connections, it may indicate a fault in the control board, wiring, or pump itself. Also, if the machine is not filling with water properly, it may stop early in the cycle. Check the water intake filters for blockages and confirm that the water tap is open and the hose is not kinked.
