Washing machine not spinning
The drum may wash normally but fail to spin, leaving clothes much wetter than expected.
Does the cycle finish?
Are clothes still very wet?
Washing machines rely on water intake, drum movement, drainage, spin operation, door locking and electronic controls. Where the cycle changes is useful information.
A washer that never fills shows a different symptom from one that washes normally but leaves water inside when the cycle ends.
The drum may stop moving, spin too slowly, shake heavily or leave clothes unusually wet after the cycle.
Door-lock problems, controls, displayed errors or interrupted cycles can all help describe what the washer is doing differently.
Include the washer brand, model number, where in the cycle the problem occurs and any displayed error code.
Tell us what happens during filling, washing, draining, spinning or when you try to start the cycle.
Water may remain inside the drum after the cycle or the washer may stop before drainage finishes.
The drum may wash normally but fail to spin, leaving clothes much wetter than expected.
Water may appear near the front, underneath the washer or around a hose connection.
Banging, grinding, rattling or another new sound may appear during washing or spinning.
The controls may illuminate without beginning a cycle, or the washer may show no response.
The cycle may start without enough water or stop before normal washing begins.
A front-load washer may refuse to begin when the door does not lock correctly.
The washer may move excessively, shake during spin or feel unusually unstable.
Drainage, drum movement, water supply, door locking and electronic controls can all affect washer operation.
Relevant when water remains inside or the washer does not drain normally.
Drum movement is important during both washing and spinning.
Water supply components affect how the washer fills at the start of a cycle.
Water connections and seals may be relevant when leaks appear.
Locking operation can affect whether a washer starts or continues a cycle.
Support components influence movement and vibration during spin.
Electronic settings and error codes can help describe cycle problems.
Sensors can influence water level, timing and different cycle stages.
Horizontal-drum washers use a front door and dedicated door-lock system.
Top-loading models use a vertical tub with a lid and different wash mechanisms.
Front-loading washers may be installed below a compatible dryer in stacked setups.
Smaller washers use reduced cabinet dimensions for tighter laundry spaces.
Modern HE washers use controlled water levels and electronic cycle management.
Newer washers may use digital controls, sensors and displayed error codes.
