But something is wrong: after half an hour of the usual light buzzing, suddenly complete silence. Oh, the horror, the washing machine has stopped with a full tank of water, no longer washes, but also does not rinse.

Why does your washing machine not rinse the laundry?

What to do? The main thing is not to panic! Following our recommendations, you can easily figure out what happened to your assistant. And it may well be that with the help of simple manipulations you will be able to cope with the problem yourself.

To begin with, you need to check: the washing machine does not rinse or does not spin?

Try running the water drain program to figure it out.

Not rinsing, reasons?

If it did not help, and everything stands as it was, you need to check:

  • Is the drain hose kinked?? It is possible that it is squeezed by something heavy or twisted, and the water just physically can not pass through it;
  • Is there a sewer blockage? In order to check this, you need to disconnect the water drain hose from the sewage pipe (or siphon) and lower the bottom end of the hose into the tub, cabin tray or baby tub (in case there is no stationary tub). Next, you need to turn on the drain program. The water is quietly drained? Congratulations, there is no problem with the way your washer rinses the laundry! You just need to clear a clog in the course of the sewer pipe or clean the siphon. You can do this on your own.

If the above manipulations do not solve the problem, then you need to unplug the power cord of the machine from the socket and gently drain the excess water with drain filterlocated in the lower compartment of the machine in a small hatch.

You've done it? Now you can take out the laundry and either rinse and spin the old-fashioned way or put off the washing until the arrival of the wizard, who must be called for accurate diagnostics breakdown and conduct a qualified repair of your machine.

Below we have tried to collect all the main reasons why your washing machine rinses poorly, does not rinse at all or rinses with hot water (this also happens):

Drain pump filter, spigot and/or drain is clogged All kinds of small debris from what may have been inadvertently deposited in the pockets of clothes, as well as loose during the washing process, small threads, lint, when draining the dirty water goes into the pump filter. Larger debris is trapped in the nozzle. If the filter and spigot are very dirty, the water will simply stop flowing through them.

Remedy: The drainage system has to be cleaned.

And if the washing machine does not rinse, although the programs of draining and spinning work in normal mode?

It happens that you have selected the program of drain or extra rinse, and the water is gone. But the overall washing cycle still stalls at this point every time. Washing, of course, is impossible. There are two main reasons for such behavior of the machine:

Broken heating element. In this type of malfunction, the water is simply not heated to the temperature set by the program, so the washing stops. You can check this by touching the glass of the hatch with your hand (do not get burned at temperatures above 40°C) - if it is absolutely cold, and you put it on heating, then most likely this is the problem.

Solution: replace the heating element

For more than 1000 rubles.
Control board malfunction In case of errors in the control module, some operations during the program can skip or suddenly stop completely. It happens that after some "glitches" the work of the machine temporarily gets better, but it is better not to wait for the next time, but to eliminate the problem in time, so as not to face a much more expensive repair afterwards.

Solution: reflashing/replacement of module
