The most common reasons why the laundry does not spin

Modern technology is a complex instrument from many components. Therefore, the reasons why the washing machine does not wring out may be due to the incorrect operation of its various parts:

• There is a blockage in the drain pump filter.
• Clogged nozzle that leads from the tank directly to the pump.
• The ingress of a sufficiently large foreign object into the impeller of the pump and its jamming, as a result of which the pump cannot rotate.
• A blockage has formed inside the drain hose.
• Siphon or sewer clogged with extraneous debris.
• Defective drain pump.
• Deterioration of brushes of the electric motor.
• Defective motor.
• Malfunction of the heating element TENA.
• Faulty electronic module.

The program you use turned out to be wrong

If you notice that your washing machine is not spinning, one of the reasons for this may be that you used a program where spinning was not provided.

Important! Such programs may include: wool, gentle washing, silk.

Take the instructions for your washing machine, read it and find the exact description of the program with which you washed clothes. If the program does not provide for the spinning process, then you have no problems. Next time, just choose a different program or don’t pull out the laundry at all, but simply run the spin function separately and observe the result.

Important! Depending on what you just loaded into the tank and for further prevention, see the detailed instructions:

• What mode to wash t-shirts?
• In what mode to wash bedding?
• In what mode to wash a jacket on a synthetic winterizer?
• In what mode to wash jeans?

A different situation may happen when the spin program provided, but the machine still completed the program, without wrinkling the laundry. In this case, check if you did not deactivate the spin by force before starting the washing process.

Both of these problems have nothing to do with damage to the equipment and can occur due to banal carelessness.

The imbalance or overload of the washing machine

If your washing machine is not gifted with the function of determining the imbalance or overloading of laundry, then during the washing process there may be minor problems when the laundry is unevenly distributed in the drum or it is extremely large and it is very heavy.

Usually, in such situations, the machine conducts as follows: at the moment when the spinning process should already begin, the machine wants to spin the drum, but it does not work out for it. Similar attempts are repeated several times. After the washing machine was not able to wring the laundry, it completes the washing program. In the end, you get absolutely wet underwear.

Important! If this is your situation, then you don’t need to panic - just take out half of the laundry from the washing machine, evenly distribute it so that there is no lump shape, and start the spin function again.

Next, you need to deal once with all the intricacies of the operation of your washer. To do this, read a separate article about washing machine weight calculation.

The washing machine does not wring out laundry due to the water in the tank

Before starting the spin program, the automatic machine must absolutely drain all the water from the tank. She also drains the water that flows from the laundry during the spin cycle. That is why if your washing machine does not drain water for no reason, then you should look for a reason for this.

What can be done: unscrew and then clean the drain filter of your washing machine:

• If in the middle of it you find foreign objects, then eliminate them.
• If the reason is not in the drain valve, check for any foreign objects in the drain hose and drain pipe, which makes its way from the tank directly to the pump. Eliminate the blockage and re-check the operation of your washing machine.

Important! If you are faced with a similar problem for the first time and you are worried that you will do something wrong, use our instructions from the article, which details the step-by-step algorithm drain hose cleaners.

Control Module Issues

The control module is the so-called “brain” of the washing machine. It is this module that controls absolutely all programs, receives all signals from all sensors and, depending on the signal, gives orders to the executing elements.

If your automatic washing machine has stopped squeezing the laundry, and you have checked all of the above potential breakdowns and realized that everything is working properly, there is only one reason - the control module is broken. You will hardly succeed in checking the control module yourself. Although, if you have experience working with electrical engineering and SMA analysis, then our article will help you to solve the problem yourself “CMA control module”.  

Important! Unfortunately, fixing this malfunction is not so cheap - the cost of the module itself is quite high and it is better to ask a knowledgeable person for help with a similar problem.

Malfunction of the sensor, which is responsible for the water level.

Pressostat - also called a “control sensor”. The function of this sensor is to inform the control module of the machine about the status of the water level. Having received the necessary data, the control module decides whether the spin is necessary in this wash or not. Accordingly, when the signal does not enter the device’s brain, the automatic washing machine starts to squeeze out poorly. What to do in this case? How to fix a breakdown?

Ask the workshop for help - specialists are required to help.

Important! Most likely, in your washing machine you just need to replace the sensor that is faulty.

Sensor malfunction for engine speed

The tachometer, which also has a different name, namely the “speed control sensor”. The tachometer is located directly on the engine of the machine, and to be specific - on its shaft. The functions of this sensor itself are to control the number of revolutions made. Control time is one minute.

Due to a sensor malfunction, the automatic machine does not have the ability to develop the speed it needs. Now it has become absolutely clear to you why your washing machine does not start to spin laundry due to a malfunction of the tachometer.

Important! A breakdown of this kind can be extremely rare.

What actions should you take?

1. Check mount. If you find that it is weak - be sure to tighten it.
2. Also pay attention to wiring and contacts.

If you are unable to do this yourself, contact a workshop for help. There you should be helped to replace the sensor.

How to check the washing machine pump?

If there is a suspicion that the reasons why the washing machine does not wring out lie in the malfunction of the pump, it must be checked. For this:

1. With the machine turned off, unscrew the filter.
2. After that, turn on the machine to the mains and start the drain and spin program, you can set the programs one by one. Just do not connect the water in any case - the pump must be idle.
3. The program is running, and if your pump is still working, the impeller will rotate. You can just look at it through the hole of the filter you turned off.
4. If the impeller still does not rotate, your pump has definitely deteriorated.

It cannot be stated that this is the most common situation, but at the same time, it is better to replace just one pump than to understand that it is necessary to repair the entire system.

Important! Remember that preliminary care measures will best help you get rid of any malfunctions of household appliances. What exactly are necessary in this case - find out from the article“Prevention of the washing machine”.
