You habitually threw the laundry in the washing machine, started the appropriate program and switched to other things. After a while you come to check how the process is going on, and you realize that, as if according to the program, the spin should now spin, but your washing machine does not pick up speed, and and the drum keeps spinning slowlyas if it were in washing mode.
Of course, if the washing machine will not pick up speed, the laundry will be completely wet, and you will have to spin it manually. So what to do?
The main thing is not to panic. It is quite possible that you will be able to find the reason why the washing machine motor does not pick up speed.
And we'll tell you what you need to pay attention to first:
- Check to see if the spin control button has been accidentally pressed.. The functionality of the vast majority of washing machines allows you to adjust the spinning power. You may have inadvertently selected the option of spinning at a reduced spin speed. Especially often this happens if your washing machine has a mechanical regulator.
- Check the selected washing program: if you have selected a program for washing wool/delicate fabrics, low spin speeds are normal, because this is the kind of neat spin that will not harm your clothes and keep them looking great.
Have you checked the number of revolutions set and the program, and everything is fine there?
Stop the wash, if possible, or wait until the program is over and check the total weight of the laundry. Sometimes the washer doesn't pick up the spin speed for the following reasons:
- The washing machine is overloaded.. If the total weight of the laundry you removed from the machine is higher than the maximum programmed weight, try loading the laundry for the spin in two batches.
- There is too little laundry in the washing machine. Some models of washing machines have a minimum allowable loading weight. Try adding a large terry towel (clean, of course) to the company of your laundry, this will help solve the lack of weight.
- An imbalance in weight may have arisen.. This can happen if some heavy thing is washed, or a lot of small things got into the duvet cover during the washing process. If the washing machine does not pick up for this reason, disassemble and spread the laundry evenly in the drum and try to spin again.
Below you will find the most common reasons why the washing machine picks up poorly or does not pick up at all:
| What can be broken? | Causes of the problem: | Cost of repair: |
| Breakdown of the pressostat (water level sensor) | This sensor is responsible for transmitting data to the control module about the actual water level in the washing machine. When it breaks, it starts transmitting incorrect signals, such as that there is water in the tank, when in fact there is no water. Thus, the the water drain program continues to runand the rpm is kept to a minimum. Solution: replace the sensor |

| Tacho sensor failure (responsible for speed control) | This sensor is responsible for changing the speed drum rotation speed. In case of breakdown, it can send incorrect commands to increase the speed, then the washing machine either picks up speed sharply, or does not pick up speed at all.
Solution: replace the sensor |
From 1300 p. |
| Breakdown of electronic module/programmer | This is the so-called "brains" of your washing machine: electronic module for models with electronic controls, and the programmer - for mechanical versions. Breakdowns in this critical node lead to a variety of malfunctions in the system, for example, the washing machine does not pick up speed. Solution: reprogram or replace the board. |

| Engine failure | Such engine faults can affect the loss of speeds, as:
Solution: repair/replace motor |
From 1,500 rubles. |
| Drive belt failure | Wear of the drive belt leads to weakening of the traction. In this case, when high revolutions are reached, the belt may spin at idle, causing the total revolutions to drop significantly.
Remedy: Replace timing belt. |

* The table shows the basic price for the service. The total cost of repair depends on the type of failure and the cost of spare parts for a particular model of washing machine and is calculated by the master after the examination.
** The presented prices are the cost of the specialist's work and do not include the price of spare parts.
In addition to the above situations, it happens that the washing machine does not spin because the water does not drain out. If you see that this is the reason, we recommend that you read our article on "Why the washing machine does not drain the water".
In any case, if suddenly it turned out that your washing machine does not gain momentum when spinning, do not worry, and call a master
Our specialist will promptly hold free diagnosisDetermine the exact cause of the breakage and will hold a qualified repair. One call and the problem with the spinning speed will be solved in the shortest terms.
No power on the washing machine Rainbow, the motor buzzes, but does not run itself, only when you push it all works, what is the reason for the engine or starting capacitor?
washing machine ariston - brushes new ! water inside the machine is not present ! when entering spin mode - blew out the circuit breaker ! during the washings all is normal !
