The washing machine does not wring out - reasons

An automatic washing machine, according to housewives, is considered one of the most important inventions designed to facilitate their work. The automatic machine perfectly copes with its function: it erases, thoroughly rinses and wringes the laundry. Sometimes it happens that the washing machine does not wring. The reasons can be different, they are what we will analyze in this article.

Do I need to look for the cause of the malfunction?

If the automatic machine refuses to squeeze out the laundry, then as the housewives, who have made the times of “manual” labor, might think, the situation is not entirely critical, because the main task is washing and rinsing, but the machine does it.

However, if the washing machine does not wring out, this is the first bell that warns that the unit needs repair. Otherwise, during further operation of the device in such a half-working mode, not only the spin cycle, but also other functions may break.

Why the washing machine does not wring?

If the washing machine LG, Indesit, Samsung, Kandy, Ardo, Bosch, Ariston does not wring, then first make sure that there is a breakdown.

The greatest pleasantness of the situation when the washing machine does not wring out - the reasons can be absolutely not serious, for example:

1. Perhaps you have loaded too many things into the washer (or one large one). In this case, the laundry is not evenly distributed over the drum, the machine automatically reduces the spin speed to prevent strong vibration.
2. Check if the program is selected correctly, because you could inadvertently exclude the spin mode from the wash cycle and start the machine.
3. Some of the above machines allow you to adjust the number of revolutions per minute. Perhaps you accidentally lowered them, as a result - the laundry turned out to be too wet.
4. A harmless type of problem includes clogging the drain. Perhaps there was a blockage, which means that the washing machine does not wring out simply because it cannot drain the water.

Prevention

If you are faced with such harmless, not serious reasons for the lack of spin, then use the following recommendations:

• Watch what you put in the washing machine and how: if there is a need to wash a large thing, then put a few small ones with it. Then the machine brilliantly cope with any spin.
• Check the drain system regularly. If you have to wash very dirty things or you have been operating the machine for more than a year, then drainage may be blocked. Periodically carry out maintenance work on cleaning the drainage system.
• Be careful when choosing a washing program. Read the instructions and icons on the washing machineto press exactly those buttons that are necessary when washing certain things. When operating the equipment, keep children away or watch carefully so that they do not press important buttons.

How to find out the complexity of the problem?

Before you look for terrible breakdowns in the machine, check it in the following steps:

1. Unplug the unit (to prevent electric shock).
2. Check the pump filter for clogging.
3. Carefully examine the impeller of the drain pump.Perhaps it does not hold well and is the reason for the impossibility of draining, and therefore - spinning.
4. Examine for obstruction the pipe that connects the drum and the drain pump.
5. Examine the pump itself directly. Damage to the pump is common, so if it is unusable, it’s better replace the drain pump.

How to determine that the washing machine does not drain and does not wring out?

To determine this malfunction, just look inside the washing machine through the hatch door (you do not need to open the hatch). If, bending over and looking inside the machine, you will see water that has not merged, then the problem is not in the spin cycle, but in the drain mechanism.

In this case, the spin mode works fine, however, due to a pump malfunction, there is no outflow of water to the sewer.

Manufacturers of automatic machines have such a situation: if the water has not left the tank, the spin program will not start. After replacing the pump, the washing machine will recover.

Important! If you checked the spin system and determined that it wasn’t a clog and a pump, as well as incorrect laying of the laundry, there was nothing to do with it, then contact a specialist. Most likely the problems are more serious and independent repair attempts will not succeed.

Serious damage or why the washing machine does not wring the laundry

A number of reasons why the washing machine does not wring out may depend on technical specifications. Serious damage can only be fixed by specialists in the service center.

The most common breakdowns, experts consider:

• Faulty water level sensor. If the pressure switch is working properly, then it informs the control module of the machine about what water level is and whether or not spin is needed. If the sensor fails, the control module does not receive a signal that the water is still left. As a result, the spin mode does not turn on. To fix this problem, you need to replace the sensor.
• Malfunction of the electronic module or programmer (depending on the model of the machine). If the stabilizer in the control module fails, the “brain” of the machine does not issue a spin command. To fix the situation, you need a replacement board or flashing. To understand how difficult it is, read a separate article about washing machine control module and its repair.
• Damage to the drum motor of the washing machine. The causes of motor failure can be:
  1. Open in the winding of the drive motor.
  2. Deterioration of brushes of the engine.

Important! It is best to contact a specialist for qualified assistance so that he can inspect, replace, or washing machine engine repair.

In any case, the washing machine needs a qualified inspection, repair or possibly replacing the engine.

• Speed ​​sensor malfunction. If you, despite the instructions, regularly load a lot more things into the tank than is permitted, then with such an operation the tachometer may break. It is he who performs the function of controlling the number of required revolutions of the drum during the washing cycle. If such a breakdown occurs, then the system will not accelerate to the desired speed, as a result - the washing machine does not wring out at all or does not perform enough quality work. In case of breakdown of the tachogenerator, it must be replaced. If the screw that secures the tachometer loosens, it is necessary to tighten it.

Prevention

In order to protect the home appliance and not solve such a problem as the washing machine does not wring out, as well as other troubles, we recommend that you follow the basic rules:

• Before washing, be sure to check the contents of the pockets of things, since any garbage (candy wrappers, coins and other forgotten things) is the main cause of blockages.
• Be sure to adhere to the recommended loading weight of linen. Do not overload the washing machine - this will also protect the drum motor from overload and rapid wear.
• During the washing process, use the required amount of powder, always only high-quality detergent. Remember that excess powder disables the water level sensor. In our separate publication we talked in detail about best laundry detergents.
• Be sure to use surge protectors (surge protectors). The control modules of the washing machine are most sensitive to power surges. Always remember that replacing control boards or flashing is one of the most expensive repair operations.
• After the washing process, be sure to clean the machine. Clean the powder and conditioner tray from any remaining detergent. Wipe the gum of the drum from debris and powder residue. When servicing and cleaning the washing machine, give preference to non-abrasive products so as not to damage the surface of the machine.
