One of the possible causes of a washing machine failure is when the washing machine does not spin, i.e. the drum stops spinning and the laundry is not washed.

What to do first if The washing machine doesn't spin?

If your washing machine isn't spinning, first unplug it, i.e., turn off the power supply. Then carefully drain the water. This is done when breaking This occurred during the wash cycle, when the machine had already filled with water. Drainage occurs through a special filter, which is usually located at the bottom of the front panel.

Stage of failure

The next step is to determine exactly when the washing machine stopped. The options may be as follows:

• The washing machine does not spin from the moment of spinning - in this case, there will be a minimum of water in the machine, the laundry will be completely or partially rinsed from soap, but not spun.
• During washing. If the drum jams during a wash cycle, you'll find wet and soapy laundry inside when you open the door. In this case, check to see if you can manually rotate the drum.
• If the washing machine drum rotates smoothly by hand but doesn't spin during the wash cycle, the cause could be simply overloading the machine with laundry. In this case, the washing machine won't spin the full load, as it's designed for a smaller capacity.
• "Smart" washing machines will show an error code on the electronic display; if the machine does not have this function, it simply stops.

Advice: Try unloading some laundry and running the machine again; this may solve the problem.

If, however, the wash still does not start even after reducing the load, the cause may be more serious than simply exceeding the recommended load.

Some reasons for breakdowns if the washing machine stops spinning

The main reasons why a washing machine does not spin.

– The belt that drives the drum is damaged (the belt is frayed, loose, or broken). Solution: The drive belt needs to be replaced.

– Wear (abrasion) of the electric motor brushes. Solution: replace the brushes.

– Electronics failure. Solution: reprogram or replace the electronic module.

– Turning on a loaded washing machine causes the fuses in the electrical panel to trip. This is most often caused by a broken starter or rotor winding. Solution: disassemble and diagnose, then replace the motor.

– The engine has failed. Solution: repair or replace the engine.
