If you follow the specifications, timely maintenance, then the household appliance will serve you for several decades. Any breakdown of LG machine is repairable.
Let's analyze the situation when the washing machine does not produce spin mode. What to do? What is the reason that the machine does not drain the water? How to make repairs? So why one fine day the housewives have to take out of the drum wet, not wrung out laundry? Let's analyze in detail the causes of failure. After all, only to find out the problem, you can find a solution and fix the problem. When the spin does not work and at the same time all other functions are in order, such as washing, water drainage, rinse mode, then often the cause of malfunction is inattention of the person.
Overview of errors
There are several typical mistakes that hostesses make while using an automatic washing machine:
- The first error is the wrong mode. For example, in the program "wool", "silk", "hand wash", "delicate wash", the spin mode is not provided by the program. As a result, we get wet laundry out of the drum. This can be easily eliminated by running the program "spin" after the end of the main washing program.
- The drum of the washing machine is filled with an excessive amount of dirty laundry. Naturally, there is an overload of the drum, as a consequence, the washing machine does not spin the laundry. You can correct this situation by removing the excess laundry from the drum.
Divide the wet laundry into two piles. Squeeze each one in turn. If there is a wet down in the drum, it means that it is too voluminous for your washing machine, or it is not evenly distributed in the drum during the spinning process, knocked into a pile. In this case, you will be helped by special devices for washing - balls. Put them together with the down jacket when washing and run the program. -
The next reason for not performing the program "spin" may be a very small volume of laundry, which will also lead to a failure of the program, imbalance drum. Your washer hangs up during the spin cycle. To restore the operation of the machine, you need to stop it, open the door, spread the laundry evenly in the drum.
There is a little trick! when washing laundry, fine laundry, put a few large things in the drum, for example, jeans, sweater.
- The reason why the machine may not drain is a clog in the drain. This will also affect the quality of the spin. For trouble-free operation of the washing machine, it is necessary from time to time to clean the necessary-important units and assemblies, such as filter, tank, drain pipes. Maintenance of the unit is done either manually by yourself or with the help of a service center.
Cleaning can be done with chemicals. It is important that when putting things in the drum of the machine, you check the contents of your pockets. Small things like coins, keys, and other items that can clog the machine's drain tubes should be removed from them. So how do you fix the blunders? What to do if the LG washing machine stopped spinning things? First of all, it is necessary to look carefully at what mode we have chosen. In some programs, the spin function is not provided, which is not a failure.
Possible causes of failure
- Motor is out of order.
- The tachometer is defective.
- The control module is defective.
When using the device for a long time, the motor, which is responsible for the movement of the tank, becomes unusable. The motor in LG automatic washing machines is very reliable. Breakdown can occur only after 10 years of use. After ten years, the machine can not only not spin things, but also in general work malfunction. Problems are solved simply - you need to replace the motor. With constant overloading, do not be surprised that the LG machine stops spinning. This occurs as a result of a malfunction of the tachometer.
In this case, the help of a specialist will help you. Call a specialist at home and he will fix the breakage, replace the failed part. The main board that coordinates the work of the washing machine is the control module. Failures in its operation directly affect the quality of spinning. Also on the rinse, water intake. Problems are solved by a technician, who will replace the circuit board. If you notice that your machine has stopped draining water and does not spin the laundry well, try to determine the cause of the problem. Probably the drain tube is clogged.
It is necessary to clean it. Then evaluate the drum load. If there is an excess of laundry, open the door of the machine and pull out the excess. Overloading the laundry directly affects the quality of washing, rinsing, spinning. If all the above actions did not give positive results, then you need to unplug the washing machine, wait a while and turn it on again. Reboot. Program failures often occur, which can be eliminated by restarting. If even this time the problem is not solved, then call the master. If the drum of the washing machine is frequently overloaded, the sensor, which is responsible for the speed, breaks down. When it breaks down, the washer stops spinning. This is very rare, but it happens.
It's probably not even the sensor, but the wires that come off the sensor and periodically get oxidized. Maybe their fastening is loose. Very rarely the washing machine does not work because of a burned out motor. LG machines are equipped with inverter motors, they are very reliable, and work for at least 10 years. Changing the motor is very expensive. You can replace the tachometer yourself. There are problems with the control module. The functionality of the control module can be easily checked by running the diagnostic mode. Diagnostic mode is in all modern washing machines LG.
Include the machine in the network, wait for the sound signal. Then press the 2 buttons "spin" and "temp" at once. Start the diagnostic mode. Then press the "Start" button. The door should lock. Once again press the "Start" button, your washing machine will go into spin mode. If in this case it does not spin, then there is a malfunction.
The following must be done:
- Remove the rear panel of the housing. Open access to the washer motor.
- Take a tester or multimeter and measure the AC voltage.
- Remove the wire terminal with the wires.
Next, you need to measure the voltage between the pins of the wires. If it is between 140 and 150 volts, then everything is fine. If there is no voltage, the module will have to be replaced. What to do if the the pressostat? In the tank of the washing machine is a sensor pressostat. It detects the level of water in the tank and transmits the information to the electronic chip of the machine. The washing machine can not understand how much water is in the tank, and therefore stops pumping it out. Pressostat can not be repaired, it is better to replace it with a new one. The machine is quite expensive. The right solution is to have it repaired by people from LG service center.
