Why the washing machine does not spin: errors that are worth paying attention to

11.03.2023 03:30

The main assistant in washing clothes for a woman is the washing machine.

Over time, the assistant gets tired and starts to wring things out poorly. This should be addressed and the cause eliminated.

Perhaps you have selected a washing mode that should not spin things. New models have such modes.

Some models can adjust to the weight of the laundry, so they stop doing this. If you wash in the "blanket" mode, the machine will determine the weight itself and will not spin it to protect itself.

Sometimes the machine stopped spinning clothes because the drain hose was clogged.

If it is clogged, the water will stop draining and will not allow you to spin the laundry. Put the hose in a bucket and watch how the water drains.

If it is clogged, you need to remove the debris.

Some washing machines can let socks, hair, or other small items fall into the drain pipe. This can cause a clog.

Another thing that can get clogged is the pipe. It connects the tank and the pump that circulates the water, and debris can accumulate there.

It is worth disconnecting it at the drain unit and checking for blockage. Before doing this, watch a video review of this procedure.

Each washing machine has a coarse filter that needs to be cleaned every six months. If you wash your machine often, you need to do it more often.

How to do this?

  • Open the front lid if you have a side loading machine.
  • Place a rag under the car to catch the water.
  • Open the plastic filter with your hands and rinse under running water.
  • Screw on the filter and check for leaks.

If all these components are fine, then the reason is different and you should contact specialists.
