It’s hard to imagine modern life without household appliances, and the washing machine is no exception.
The washing machine has become a real salvation for housewives. No more spending hours washing clothes by hand. You just need to put your clothes in the drum of the machine, add powder and you can forget about washing for a couple of hours. But sometimes the main assistant of a modern woman fails. It is a very unpleasant situation when the washing machine breaks down. One of the most common problems is that the machine does not spin.
Why does the washing machine wash but not spin?
There may be several reasons for this problem – both software and mechanical. So, what’s wrong with the washing machine if it doesn’t spin? Among the most common problems that can lead to this are:
- worn brushes;
- loose contacts;
- damaged electric drive belt, etc., which affects the operation of the drum.
In this case, the problem can only be resolved by servicing or replacing the washing machine.
Why does the washing machine drain water but not spin?
You may be able to deal with the problem of the washing machine not spinning without calling a technician. The most likely cause may be overload or uneven loading of laundry into the drum. In this case, the washing machine does not spin and hums.
At the same time, if this is the first start of the machine after purchase, then check whether the bolts for transportation were removed during installation.
If the household appliance is not new, then the integrity of the motor winding may be damaged. Then you cannot do without specialized help.
How to make the washing machine spin
If the washing machine does not spin, you cannot use a forced spin, because it is part of other programs. True, many modern washing machines have a separate “Spin” function.
We tell you how to launch it:
- Press the power button.
- Wait until all the indicators light up and a beep sounds, indicating that you are ready to start working.
- Select Spin mode on the control panel.
- Click the “Start” button.
This will only work if there is a software failure and the main wash cycle has not completed.
