A modern washing machine is an indispensable assistant in every home. It is rightfully considered one of the most effective types of household appliances. The washing machine copes with the function assigned to it. For a short time, she will turn dirty laundry into clean. Thanks to the spin function, the washed clothes are taken out by the consumer from the drum in a semi-dry state. But sometimes the performance of the device is broken, and this function stops working. Why is the washing machine not wrung out? The causes of the malfunction may be different. Depending on the degree of damage, they can be eliminated both independently and with the help of a wizard.
How to understand that spin does not work?
Make it easy. As a rule, after the program is completed, the laundry in the drum is semi-dry. If the wash is completed immediately after rinsing, the laundry remains very wet and water may drip from it.
Also, a spin failure is indicated by the water remaining in the drum after removing the laundry.
These two indicators indicate that the washing machine does not wring out after washing. The causes of such a malfunction and how to identify them are different. To get started, you can try to figure out the problem yourself.
The washing machine does not press laundry well: reasons
Often, the failure of parts is completely absent. Even if the washing machine does not wring. The reasons lie in the improper use of the device. Out of ignorance, some owners believe that this is due to a malfunction.
Wrong wash program
Not all programs have a spin cycle. Therefore, after rinsing, the washing machine simply drains the water and ends the operation. On many models, such a function is not provided for the Delicate Wash program.
To make sure that your appliance is working, it’s worth looking into its instructions and studying the information about the cycles provided for in a particular washing program.
Drum overload
This is the most common problem with narrow models up to 40 cm. The fact is that at high speeds an imbalance occurs in the overflowing laundry tank, and the control module decides to finish the wash. Therefore, if the Indesit washing machine does not wring out, the reasons are most likely in overloading the tank or knocking the laundry in one lump. Why exactly this company? Because it is quite popular for its narrow models at 33-35 cm wide.
Uneven distribution of laundry in the drum
This is a problem mainly also of narrow washing machines or models without unbalance control. This function is responsible for the uniform distribution of linen on the walls of the drum before switching to the cycle "Spin". It is carried out due to reverse movements. If the laundry in the drum is not evenly distributed, the spin will start at low speed or the washing program will be completely stopped. As a result of the presence of unbalance control during the spin cycle, vibration and noise are reduced, thereby increasing the service life of household appliances.
But if the matter is not in the program and the download was made in accordance with the permitted norm, and the washing machine stopped pressing, the cause may be a breakdown of any component part.
Drain pump failure
In this case, the spin function itself will work correctly. It’s just that the car will not be able to drain the water, it will remain in the drum and will not go into the sewer. In this case, the electronic module will not be able to start the rinse cycle at the desired speed. In order to restore the device’s performance, it is necessary to replace the non-working drain pump.
Pressostat malfunction
This is a device that transmits a signal to the electronic module about the water level in the drum. And if during the washing process the “brain” of the washing machine does not receive the necessary signals from it, the spin function is not activated and the laundry remains too damp. If the master determines that the problem is in the pressure switch, he will replace it with a new one.
Malfunction of the electronic module
This is one of the undesirable and most expensive damage. If the “brain” of the device comes out of a stand, not only the spin function may work incorrectly. According to the masters, this is the most common reason when the LG washing machine does not wring. The reasons lie precisely in the electronic module. Modern models of these devices have complex control, which is very sensitive to overvoltages in the mains.
In order to restore the washing machine, it is necessary to contact a qualified master, he will either replace the board, or rewrite the module itself.
It is worth noting that the command apparatus very often fails due to power surges. Therefore, in order to secure your household appliances, it is worthwhile connecting it through special protective shutdown devices or a difavtomat.
Motor fault
According to the master, if the Burning washing machine does not wring, the reasons are often precisely in the motor. A malfunction of the electric motor can occur due to a break in the winding or wear of the graphite brushes. In this regard, the engine loses its power and it is not enough for a large number of revolutions, which is provided for in the spin function. Often this cycle of the program is still included, but the acceleration of the drum is not enough, so the laundry is not squeezed properly.
Only a qualified craftsman or person with experience working with similar devices can understand this problem. Partial repair of the electric motor or its complete replacement will help restore the washing machine.
Tacho malfunction
This appliance is responsible for the number of revolutions of the drum per minute during washing. If the washing machine does not wring, the reasons for the tachometer are quite rare. But if the master finds a malfunction of this device, he will replace it with a new device.
What if the spin in the washing machine stops working?
If during the execution of the program the machine did not complete the last cycle, you must:
- Check the laundry in the drum, it may have gone wrong. For this reason, the electronic module stopped the execution of the program. Often this happens when washing bedding, when everything is packed in a duvet cover or pillowcase and the machine cannot evenly distribute the contents. It is necessary to get the laundry from the drum, load it separately back and activate the function "Spin + rinse" or "Spin".
- Check the explanation of the program in the instructions. Perhaps she just does not provide for this mode. In this case, spin can also be started separately.
- Exclude drum overload. Especially sensitive to this model with electronic control. In the event of an overload, they simply stop the washing process in any mode.
- You can try to restart the program, the program may have crashed.
In all other cases, you will have to contact the service center for help from a qualified technician. Since it is quite difficult for a person without experience to understand which component part is out of order. In addition, this requires special equipment.
