Unfortunately, household appliances are not eternal. Even if the consumer chose a washing machine of the most popular and reliable manufacturer, at a considerable price, this will not protect him from breakdowns and repair costs. Over time, even the most durable technical device can break down and become worthless. Therefore, those cases when the washing machine does not squeeze the laundry, also can not be called a rarity. According to specialists in the repair of this equipment, most often a malfunction can be eliminated on its own, without contacting a service center. The main thing is to correctly establish the cause.
Why the washing machine does not wring?
How to understand that there is a malfunction? If, after the end of the program, the laundry remained too damp or water remained in the tank at all, then the spin program was executed incorrectly. In fact, there are many reasons why the spin mode does not work. Starting with improper operation of the unit, ending with the failure of certain components of the device.
Installing an erroneous program
Few users pay attention to the fact that some modes simply do not provide for a spin cycle, which is why it does not work. This often happens after buying a new washing machine. Less than half of all newly made owners look at the instruction manual. After all, it seems that complicated? The display of the device already has enough information - type of fabric, temperature. But in reality, not all modes can be programmed to spin. For example, when washing delicate fabrics, as a rule, the washing machine does not wring out the laundry. But this does not mean that it is faulty, it is so inherent in the program.
Device overload
This information is also contained in the device passport. As a rule, it indicates what loading weight of dry laundry the appliance is designed for. It is worth considering that when the laundry becomes wet, it weighs much more and can be unevenly distributed across the drum. If the machine is trying to cope with a lot of weight, then it will behave as follows: when the time comes to start spinning, the number of rotations in the drum increases, but due to excessive load the machine cannot do this. Therefore, when the washing mode comes to an end, the laundry remains unpressed. This is a fairly common reason why the Indesit or Samsung washing machine does not wring, for example, where a small load of laundry (up to 5 kg) is provided.
When laying laundry, it is worth considering not only its weight, but also the loading of the tank. It should be filled no more than 2/3.
Tacho malfunction
This is a device that controls the number of revolutions during washing. Mounted on a motor rotor. Permanent overloading the tank or loosening the mounting bolt can lead to failure of this device. If the tachometer is faulty, then in the process of executing the program, the command apparatus giving the signal cannot control the number of revolutions. In this case, the washing machine does not wring out the laundry, and after the program ends, it remains damp.
Motor wear
Most often, the source of this reason is the wear of graphite brushes as a result of long-term operation of the device. Over the years, they wear out, and when their minimum length is reached, the motor loses power, and it simply is not enough to spin. Also, the electric motor of the washing machine may fail due to a break in the winding.
Pressure switch failure
This is a device that controls the water level in the tank. In order to activate the spin function, information about the water level in the tank must be received in the control module. If there is no signal about the presence of water, the washing machine does not wring out the laundry. It is worth noting that the water sensor is almost impossible to repair, so it is 99% replaceable.
What if the washing machine does not wring out the laundry?
- Check the washing mode used. As mentioned earlier, not every program provides for a spin cycle. Before operation, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the instruction manual. If this mode is absent in the program, you can use the additional operation “Spin”.
- Check if the laundry is knocked together and if there is a tank overload. It is not recommended to load the device to the blade, as this significantly reduces the period of normal operation.
In other cases, if the owner does not have sufficient experience or knowledge about the construction of such equipment, it is better to contact a specialist who can accurately determine why the washing machine does not wring. A qualified master will not only be able to correctly diagnose the problem, he has special equipment for this and he can correctly select the components that need to be replaced in order to restore the device to work.
