If the washing machine stops spinning the laundry, many people start to worry and do not understand what to do in such a situation.
It is worth remembering 5 common reasons and analyzing the main methods of elimination.
In most situations, the breakdown can be fixed with your own hands, without using a special tool.
What you need to know
Everyone should understand that there are mechanical failures that cannot be diagnosed or fixed independently.
A simple example: if the pump burns out, it is extremely difficult to replace it yourself, it is better to contact specialized workshops. This article will analyze the basic causes and methods for eliminating the malfunction.
The drain doesn't work
This problem manifests itself most often. The drain of the washing machine can become clogged over time.
If this happens, the machine simply cannot drain the water, and therefore the spin mode does not start. It is necessary to check all the drain hoses and get rid of the blockage, if any.
It is also worth taking a look at the coarse filter. Its task is to collect large debris during the washing process. As practice shows, the coarse filter gets clogged after about six months of active washing. And when this happens, it stops letting water through. Cleaning the filter is easy, you need to open the lid at the bottom and unscrew the filter, the whole process will take a few minutes.
The washing machine is overloaded or the weight is not distributed correctly.
Modern washing machines will never start the spin mode if it is overloaded. Depending on the model, there may be a sound signal or a corresponding error will appear on the screen.
Occasionally, it happens that the weight starts to be distributed incorrectly during washing. A simple example: other laundry can get stuck in the sheet, which is why the weight is distributed incorrectly. In this case, it is worth taking out the items, dividing them into two batches and trying to start the spin mode.
A mode without spinning has been selected
The error may seem meaningless, but it happens regularly. If we consider modes for delicate fabrics or wool, the spin will not start, as this can lead to damage to the items. The mode is important, so it is worth rechecking the program to avoid finding yourself in a stupid situation.
Reduced RPM function
Some models can independently control the number of revolutions during spinning, based on vibration and other factors. The most interesting thing is that such a function can be turned on accidentally and forgotten about.
The machine is installed incorrectly
This reason can only appear on modern models. A simple example: if the machine is installed incorrectly, the spin mode simply will not start.
This kind of trouble often starts to appear if the machine was moved to another place. Modern devices have many sensors that simplify washing and make it safe.
