A washing machine is a modern household appliance that allows you to save a lot of time and effort in caring for your clothes.
Sometimes it happens that the washing machine does not spin the clothes completely, then the housewives have a question about what the problem is and how to solve it.
Therefore, we suggest you learn about the most common reasons why your washing machine does not spin your clothes and how to eliminate them.
Incorrectly selected washing mode
Most housewives sometimes choose the wrong washing mode, which can lead to a lack of spinning.
Modern washing machines are equipped with many different washing modes, each of which performs its own specific function.
However, there are modes in which the spin function is completely absent, this mode is the default. There are many factors to which some washing modes can be adjusted, for example, to the total weight of the items.
For example, if you select the blanket wash mode, the washing machine can automatically detect the weight and simply turn off the spin cycle to protect the machine.
Clogged sewer hose
The main reason for the lack of spinning is a clogged drain hose. The fact is that the washing machine cannot push out all the water that collects inside.
To check if the drain hose is clogged, you need to put it in any deep container during washing and watch how it drains water. Usually, drain pipes get clogged with hair, various small things, particles of things, etc.
Clogged pipe
The pipe is involved in the process of draining waste water. It connects to the tank with the pump of the device, so it can become clogged with toys, socks and other small objects that can get into the machine.
Also, the pipes can be punctured by sharp objects, so it is worth carefully inspecting the clothes before placing them in the washing machine drum.
To clean the branch pipe, you need to disassemble the drain unit. You can watch a video instruction on the Internet to see how to do this correctly for a specific model.
The coarse filter is clogged
Each washing machine is equipped with a coarse filter. Over time, it gets clogged, so it needs to be cleaned every six months.
If you wash very frequently, you should increase the number of times you clean the filter.
Filter cleaning steps:
- First you need to remove the cover on the front panel, in one of the lower corners is this filter.
- It is worth placing any rag under the machine that will absorb water so that after removing the filter, the remaining water does not spill onto the floor.
- Carefully unscrew the filter with your hands, without using any tools. Remember that the filter thread is plastic, so it is forbidden to use strong physical force, as this can lead to breakage.
- The filter must be cleaned of existing debris and thoroughly rinsed under running water.
- The main thing is that after installing the filter back it is tightly screwed on, but do not use force.
Technical failure or malfunction of the module
If everything is in order with the filters and pipes, but the washing machine still does not spin, then it is simply broken.
This problem can only be solved by a washing machine repair specialist, who will perform a thorough inspection and diagnostics.
Do not attempt to repair this equipment yourself under any circumstances, as you may only make things worse.
