Bad spin in the washing machine. What to do

Owners of washing machines do not always pay attention to poor spinning of laundry. And in vain.

Violation of the spin function is a frequent problem with washing machines.

There can be many reasons why the washing machine began to spin poorly.

Consider these reasons in this article.

Solve the problem yourself

Incorrect program

The reason is simple. Sometimes, the owners of the washing machine use a program that does not provide for spinning the laundry. These include:

• silk;
• wool;
• gentle care.

To be sure of this, it is enough to open the manual and read whether the desired mode is selected.

If the selected program does not provide for spinning, then everything is fine, there is no problem. You can choose another program or enable the spin function.

There is also the possibility of deactivating the spin.

Unusual sounds when spinning

If small items get caught between the drum and the tank, there may be a creaking or clattering sound. To get these objects out of there will have to remove the heating element (TEN).

Overloading the washing machine

There are cases of overloading the drum, and there is an imbalance with an uneven distribution of laundry inside.

Or it is too much, and then even at a speed of 1600, the technique is not able to perform a full-fledged spin.

You can tell by the repeated unsuccessful attempt of the drum to unwind.

After this has failed, the laundry is completely wet. If such systematic violations of the machine operation conditions occur, the tachometer may break.

And its failure will disrupt the operation of the control module.

Water in the drum

Before spinning, any washing machine should empty the drum of water, and during the spin, drain the rest.

Look at the spin cycle while the machine is running and if there is water in there at this time, you need to:

1. Check the drain filter, and if necessary, clean it;
2. check the drain hose for blockages;
3. check the drain pipe.

You may have to call for service

If preventive measures and repairs by your own efforts did not help and the machine spins badly, then it is subject to inspection by a professional. In these cases it is necessary to apply for help to the service:

• A problem with the software;
• engine malfunction;
• wear and tear of the bearings;
• pump replacement.

Problem with the tachometer

The tachometer stands on the engine and fails when the machine is frequently overloaded and working at the limit. This device controls the number of revolutions, and if the tachometer does not work correctly, the spin speed cannot be set correctly by the "brain" of the machine, and as a consequence, it does not spin well.

There can be a problem with the contacts of the tachometer and it is necessary to check the mounting, wires and contacts.

To check the performance of the part is simple. This kind of breakdown is characterized by unchanging and inadequate drum rotation speed. If the sensor is broken, it is necessary to replace it with a new one.

How to replace the sensor?

1. The rear wall of the machine is removed.
2. The drive belt is removed.
3. The tachogenerator is removed from the motor.
4. A new part is purchased and put in place of the old one.
5. The repair is completed by putting the belt on and screwing the rear cover back on.

Engine malfunction

The motor is located under the body of the washing machine and it will have to be removed.

To do this, you need to disconnect the wires, the belt, unscrew the part.

The purpose of all these actions is to detect a malfunction: remove the brushes, the tachometer, check the coils.

The brushes inside the engine are subject to wear and tear and this reduces its power.

As a result, the number of revolutions is disturbed due to the lack of power and the washing machine does not spin the laundry well.

Malfunction in the control board

The module is the brain of the machine. It controls all processes, programs, sensors, etc.

Repair will not be cheap, the module is an expensive part, costs about 1/3 of the price of the machine and it is better if the repair will be done by a professional.

In the presence of such a cause, the following manifestations are characteristic:

• freezing of the machine;
• random change of programs;
• alternate flashing of the indicators;
• The washing cannot be completed.
