What to do if the LG washing machine does not spin clothes? Possible causes and steps to resolve the problem

You started doing the laundry: you put the clothes in the LG washing machine, launched the program and went on to do household chores. And when we returned to the machine, we discovered that it had not wrung out the laundry. Why the spin cycle in an LG washing machine does not work, we will discuss in this article.

First of all, you need to separate problems with draining and spinning. If your LG washing machine is stuck with water and does not spin, then the reason for this is the lack of drainage. In this case, see the article “Why the LG washing machine does not drain water.” In this article we will only consider the case when, after draining the water, the machine cannot spin out the laundry.

Wash without spin

The first reason may be that the consumer has not read the operating instructions, but is content with the information that is presented on the control panel.

Some programs do not require the LV machine to wring out the laundry. If the washing modes are set for silk or other delicate fabrics, the unit completes the process without spinning. It is launched manually by pressing the desired button on the panel.

In some cases, it turns out that when selecting a program on the washing machine, the spin off button was pressed, so the LG machine stops working after draining the water.

The buyer can choose a washing machine

This manufacturer has both different designs and different price ranges, which LG has a very wide range. The average life of this equipment is approximately 8 years, but as practice shows, their resource is much longer. If you follow the technical conditions and maintain them in a timely manner, your household electrical appliance will serve you for several decades. Any breakdown of an LG machine is fixable.

Let's look at the situation when the washing machine does not spin. What to do? What is the reason that the machine does not drain water? How to make a repair? So why do housewives have to take wet, unwrung laundry out of the drum one fine day? Let's look at the reasons for the breakdown in detail. After all, only by finding 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 working properly, such as washing, draining water, rinsing mode, then the cause of the malfunction is often human inattention.

Imbalance of loaded laundry in the drum

The reason that the laundry remains wet after washing is a violation of the loading rules. If the drum is overloaded, a safety mechanism is activated. The process is stopped to prevent equipment failure.

In this case, you need to take out the excess items and squeeze them out in the machine in parts, starting the desired mode separately.

If the item is light but takes up the entire space of the drum (for example, a bulky jacket), the washing machine will not spin it either.

Low filling of the drum can also lead to problems.

Small things can clump together, causing imbalance. Therefore, it is recommended to wash them together with large ones.

To ensure that the clothes are evenly distributed inside, special balls are used that prevent imbalance in the device during spinning.

The most common reasons why the washing machine does not spin

Using the wrong program

If, after the end of the program, the machine did not drain and fairly wet laundry was pulled out, the reason may be that a program was set where such a function is not used. This mode is for gentle washing of silk, wool and other delicate items.

Error in loading laundry and selecting program

If the instructions say that the program used for washing does not include a spin function, then do not worry. What to do in this case?

Note You must carefully study the instructions and set the required mode.

Another situation may arise when spinning was provided, and the machine finished working without spinning the laundry. You need to check: did the spin force deactivate during startup?

The listed facts are not breakdowns and arise due to the owner’s carelessness.

Overloading the washing machine

If the machine does not have a function that allows you to detect imbalance or overload, then problems may arise in the process of uneven distribution of laundry across the drum or a large amount of it.

To avoid this situation, you need to take out half of the laundry, distribute the rest evenly throughout the drum and start the spin function again.

Spin does not occur due to water in the tank

Before starting the spin program, the machine must drain the water from the tank and from the spun laundry. If this does not happen, you need to look for reasons for the refusal.

First you need to unscrew and clean the drain filter, and if there are foreign objects there, pull them out. You must remember to check the pockets of your items before washing.

Another reason for failure may be a clogged drain hose or drain pipe, which is attached from the tank to the pump. After removing the blockage, you need to check how the washing machine works again and whether it squeezes out.

Failure of the tachometer

If laundry is often overloaded during washing, the machine may operate at its load limit as a result. In this case, failure of a device such as a tachometer, which is located on the shaft and controls the speed of the car, is guaranteed.

The tachometer may also become loose or its contacts and wiring may fail. The loose fastening must be tightened and the contacts and wiring checked, if necessary, cleaned and insulated. If the sensor fails, it is replaced with a new one.

Engine brush wear

The next reason for the breakdown of washing machines such as “Indesit”, “Samsung”, “Lg” may be wear on the motor brushes. For this reason, it may not work well, not developing the required number of revolutions to successfully drain the water and spin the laundry.

You need to disassemble the body of the machine, disconnect the wires and belt from the engine and check the tachometer and brushes, and “ring” the coils. If faulty parts are found, they must be replaced with new ones.

The control module has failed

One of the most unpleasant breakdowns of automatic washing machines is the failure of its control module, the so-called “brain”. He, in fact, manages all programs, receives signals from the sensor and, following them, “gives orders” to the performing elements.

An ignorant washing machine owner cannot fix such a breakdown. There is nothing left to do but contact a specialist or service center for repairs.

Presence of squeaking and knocking noises during spin cycles

The presence of knocking or squeaking noises during washing indicates that small parts that have not been removed from the pockets have gotten into the area between the drum and the tub.

This can happen due to bearing wear. Squeaking sounds may come from the belt. The best option would be to disassemble the washer and see if the bearings are leaking.

There is no need to be upset if, over time, some functions of the automatic washing machine do not work well. After all, modern models of machines such as “Samsung”, “Indesit”, “Lg” are perfectly repairable and after that they will serve their owners for quite a long time.

Drain pump malfunction

Along with the engine, the drain pump experiences a heavy load, which leads to its wear. In addition, it becomes clogged because waste water passes through it, particles of which settle on the walls of the equipment and hose.

To determine whether the pump is the reason why the washing machine is not spinning clothes, you need to listen to how the pump operates. If it makes a louder noise than before problems with draining occurred, or, conversely, you cannot hear the sounds of a running motor, the problem is in this part of the device.

Before deciding to replace a component, you need to make sure that the other components of the pump are in order:

1. Filter and drain hose. They need to be cleaned before a problem occurs. The filter is at the bottom left. Before unscrewing the plug and removing the hose, you need to place a rag so that the remaining water in it does not spill out onto the floor.
2. Impeller. It is located behind the filter. It is checked for the presence of foreign objects - lint, hair, solids that may interfere with the free rotation of the blades.

If these elements are in order, this means that the pump or its parts must be replaced. Without the skills to carry out such repairs, it is better to call a specialist who will determine why the LG machine has stopped spinning.

To solve the problem yourself, you need to know the structure of the unit. To remove the pump, place the machine on its side and remove the bottom cover. An inspection will show what needs to be replaced - the pump or individual components:

• impeller;
• rubber gaskets;
• pulley;
• contacts;
• sensor;
• cuff;
• axis.

In order for spare parts to fit the car model, they are selected according to the serial numbers indicated on them.

Clogged drain hose or drain

The drain hose may stop draining waste water due to contamination. In such a situation, this means that the reason is not that the LG washing machine does not spin the clothes, but that the liquid remains inside.

If natural waste accumulates in the drain pipe (clothing fibers, animal hair, scale), using a chemical to clean the system may be sufficient.

If mechanical contamination, a clothing button, a coin, etc. gets there, you will have to disassemble the drain. To do this you need:

1. Disconnect the unit from the mains and drain the water.
2. Remove the hose from the sewer network.
3. Turn the car over on its side, placing a rag under it.
4. Remove the bottom panel and filter.
5. Release the clamp that holds the hose.
6. Disconnect the latter from the pump and from the housing.
7. Clean the tube using a cable or brush.
8. Connect all elements of the system and run a test wash.

If during the inspection it turns out that the sewer is clogged, it is necessary to clear the pipes of the blockage mechanically using a cable or a chemical agent.

To prevent breakdowns, it is recommended to do the following:

• check your clothing pockets to ensure that there are no objects left in them that could cause mechanical contamination of the drain;
• use detergents recommended by the manufacturer;
• clean the machine from scale and other types of blockages using special means;
• install an additional filter on the drain pipe;
• add water softening agents when washing.

Maintenance

In order for the machine to work properly, it is necessary to periodically clean important components of the unit.

This means you need to clear:

• drain pipes,
• filter,
• tank.

Cleaning the filter

Maintenance can be done manually or using special cleaning chemicals. It is important to check the contents of the pockets before putting things into the tank of the machine. The presence of change, keys and other small objects can clog the water drain pipes in the unit.

Breakdown of the pressure switch

A malfunction of the water level sensor, or pressure switch, manifests itself in the fact that the laundry does not spin out and the LG washing machine produces wet clothes after washing.

The pressure switch is located on the side wall under the top cover on the back of the device. The dismantled sensor is inspected for external damage and tested for performance using a multimeter. Another method is to blow out the sensor, for which a hose is put on the fitting. If a click is heard when air is supplied, this means that the device is working properly.

If it is damaged, it is replaced completely, because... The pressure switch cannot be disassembled into components.

The hostess herself mixed up something

If the machine worked as expected, but the items in the drum are wet, make sure that you did not confuse the settings when starting the program. Some modes, for example, “Shoes”, “Silk”, “Outerwear”, simply do not provide a spin function. If you are absolutely sure that the desired program was selected, check whether the option was forcibly disabled. Some Gorenje washing machines have a spin deactivation button with a special spring mechanism. So, the machine will wring out things only when the key is pressed. If during the last wash, or accidentally, the button is pressed, the spin cycle will be blocked for all subsequent cycles, even after the machine is turned off.

At first glance, this assumption seems banal, but the problem of many users is solved this way. You just need to return the button to the desired position and the spin cycle will resume.

Sometimes the automatic machine refuses to spin when the drum is overloaded, or when the laundry gets bunched up

That’s why it’s so important to pack exactly as many kilograms of items as allowed by the manufacturer. And to prevent imbalance, be sure to distribute the clothes evenly inside the washing machine.

Control system failure

System malfunctions occur due to voltage fluctuations in the electrical network or due to wear and tear of control panel components. Wires and contacts may oxidize or burn out, plastic parts may become unusable, etc.

In some cases, this failure can be resolved by rebooting the system. In other cases, it is necessary to carry out diagnostics using special equipment. To do this, it is better to call a technician or contact a service center.

The latest versions of LG have a self-diagnosis function programmed. To carry out this procedure, download a special application to your smartphone. There is another option - contact the service center by telephone and follow the operator’s instructions to transmit information about the diagnostic results.

Call the master

In the event that it is impossible to cope with the diagnosis and repair of LG on your own, it is better to contact a household appliance repair company.

It’s easy to find a company on the Internet; you can also look for price lists and reviews there. Please note that the cost of new parts and assemblies is not included in the price for the work and is paid separately.

In the capital, repair prices are approximately as follows:

• replacement of heating elements - about 2,000 rubles;
• electric motor repair/replacement – ​​from 2,600 rubles;
• wiring repair/loop replacement – ​​from 2,000 rubles;
• replacement/repair of pressure switch – from 2,100 rubles;
• replacement of shock absorbers - from 2,900 rubles;
• replacing the Hall sensor - about 2,000 rubles;
• repair of the control board - about 2,600 rubles;
• replacement of motor brushes – from 1,800 rubles;
• bearing replacement – ​​from 4,300 rubles.

If it is necessary to carry out deeper repairs, involving other components, the cost will be higher.

How to understand

Equipment malfunction can be detected by various signs. Most of the causes of failure are related to improper operation of the drain pump.

Drain function does not work

When faced with a breakdown, you need to make sure that the water drawn inside is completely drained. If there is liquid in the drum, the machine does not start spinning the laundry. This problem periodically occurs on all types of machines, including Samsung and other common models.

The things in the drum are quite wet

If the washer has finished its job and the items in the drum remain too wet, there is a high probability that the wash ended without turning on the spin cycle. In this case, it is worthwhile to diagnose the equipment.

Noisy drain

If there is noisy operation, it is necessary to check the condition of the drain filter. To do this, remove the panel held by the latches, remove the filter and carefully inspect it. Visually detected blockages are removed manually, and then the element is washed. The cleaned filter is returned to its original position and the functionality is checked.

Things don't work out

When the washing is not completed and the items are not wrung out, using the machine becomes uncomfortable. Despite the possibility of continuing operation, it is better to carry out repairs.

Triggers every other time

Periodic failure of the spin cycle is a clear sign of a malfunction. To eliminate the breakdown, you will need to find out the exact cause and eliminate the detected defect.

The machine hums, but does not spin

If the machine makes noise but does not perform a spin function, you need to check whether the corresponding mode is turned on. If the spin is activated but does not work, you will need to find out the cause of the failure.

Slow drain

If the machine drains water poorly and slowly, the spin cycle is unstable. Complete drainage of the liquid during normal operation takes no more than a couple of minutes.

Possible user errors

If you are faced with the fact that your machine has stopped working for push-ups, then first you need to eliminate the possibility of user errors - that is, make sure that the unit has really failed. The fact is that such errors are often caused by operational shortcomings, which can be easily and simply corrected. So, among the most common reasons is the installation of the wrong mode. Some items - delicate linen, shoes or outerwear - can be washed in special programs without spinning. It is likely that you could accidentally turn on a reduced mode of operation of your washing equipment instead of a full one.

The cause of the error may be reloading the tank - in this case, the spin option simply cannot cope with such a load of laundry. At increased speeds due to malfunctions of the motor, the sensor simply blocks the rotation of the drum. The maximum weight that the SMA can handle is always indicated in the instructions - be sure to read this point before using the machine.

Why does the washing machine spin poorly?

Our company receives many complaints that the washing machine does not spin well.

As a rule, the causes of such a malfunction are:

• Errors in the selected washing mode

Modern automatic machines have many functions in their menu. Some of the modes do not require thorough drying of things. Therefore, if, in your opinion, the washing machine does not spin clothes well, compare the result with the information contained in the instructions for the device. An example of a mode in which things are practically not wrung out is “gentle washing”.

No water drain

The sensor that controls the spin system does not turn on if there is water in the housing. Stagnation may be the result of a kinked hose or a failure of the pump that pumps out the liquid.

Failure to meet loading standards

If you put too little laundry in the drum, an imbalance occurs when the spin starts and the fuses in the machine trip. The loading rate for such equipment is at least half of the filled volume.

Tachometer failure

This is a device that controls the speed at which the drum turns. It may fail due to wear or loosening of the fastening.

Motor malfunction

If the engine has lost some of its power due to a break in the winding or wear of its internal parts, it is likely that this is why the machine began to spin poorly and why the laundry remains wet after washing.

Control panel software failure

In the case when all the previous points are excluded, we can safely say that the module that is responsible for the “smart” capabilities of your equipment is to blame for the existing problem. Sometimes, to restore functionality, it is enough to reflash it, but sometimes a complete replacement of the unit may be required.

Who can help if the washing machine spins poorly?

Our company specializes in carrying out major and minor repairs of washing machines. You can safely entrust your equipment to us - many years of experience allows us to solve problems of any level of complexity.

When carrying out repairs, we use high-quality factory components, which has a positive effect on the operational parameters of the product and extends its life. We provide a long-term warranty on the refurbished unit. When calling a technician in our company, you can specify any time convenient for you, including weekends and evenings.

Repair

If the Indesit SMA does not press, then most likely one of its modules needs repair or complete replacement. However, it is not so easy to determine what exactly the malfunction is; you will have to check all the “suspects” one by one until the culprit of the breakdown makes itself known. And first of all, you need to inspect the drive belt.

It may seem that there is no connection here, but nevertheless there is one - when the belt does not provide a stable transmission of engine speed to the drum pulley, this leads to the fact that the drum cannot accelerate to the desired speed. This will cause the program to freeze and completely stop spinning the laundry.

In order to check the performance of the belt, it is necessary to subject the SMA to partial disassembly, namely: disconnect it from the electrical network and other utilities and move it to a place where it can be easily approached from all sides. After this, you should carefully remove the back wall - this will give access to the drive belt. All you have to do is check its tension - it should be quite strong. If this part is clearly weakened and sagging, and signs of wear are visible on its surface, then such a belt must be replaced with a new one.

You can do this yourself - you need to grab the drum pulley with one hand, and the belt itself with the other and turn the pulley - the belt will come off almost immediately

After this, you need to take a new one, pull one edge onto the large pulley, the second - onto the small one, and carefully turn the pulley, this time in order to tension the element

If the belt is in order, then you can proceed to checking the tachometer. To do this you will have to perform the following steps:

• First, you should remove the drive belt so that it does not interfere with work;
• unscrew the large bolts supporting the motor;
• To check the operation of the tachometer, it must be removed and the contact resistance measured using a multimeter.

And finally, you need to make sure the engine is in good condition.

First, you should unscrew all the bolts that secure the carbon brushes and carefully pull them out. If you notice that the plates are shorter than they were originally, they are worn to the limit and must be replaced with new ones

Be sure to make sure that the motor winding is not electrocuted. Of course, this rarely happens, but such a malfunction should not be completely ruled out - with a broken winding, the motor will work poorly or not work at all. The only solution in such a situation would be to replace the motor with a working one, since winding repairs are quite expensive. The test is carried out using a multimeter, with one spike attached to the winding core, and the second one fixed to the housing. All cores must be checked, otherwise such monitoring will be of little use.

If you suspect that the electronic board has failed, it is better to immediately call a professional technician. Such a breakdown requires specialized repair, otherwise any amateur activity can permanently damage the unit.

In conclusion, we note that if the machine does not wring out the laundry, do not panic - most often the error is a consequence of violating the rules for operating the equipment. In order for it to fully perform the spin function, before starting the wash you should:

• make sure that the selected washing mode is correct;
• do not put more things into the tank than are provided by the manufacturer;
• Check the status of the spin button.

To learn why the Indesit washing machine does not spin, see the following video.

Thus

To understand why the washing unit stopped spinning things after washing, you should evaluate the correct use of the device. Perhaps personal oversights in operation led to breakdown. If there are none, you need to do a few simple steps recommended by the experts. If this does not bring positive results, you should contact a specialist.

The washing machine has firmly taken its place in many apartments. The unit allows you to quickly wash any laundry, remove complex stains, rinse and squeeze thoroughly. However, quite often washing machines break down, which makes further use of the device difficult. One of the most common troubles is the spin suddenly stopping working. In this case, a modern household assistant simply turns into a pile of useless metal. The owner needs to competently and quickly resolve this issue - why does the washing machine not spin the clothes and how to solve this problem?

What to do if the spin does not work

Choosing the right program. It is possible that the machine has selected a program that does not include spinning, for example, for washing woolen or silk items, “Gentle Care”, etc. You can check this using the instructions, which describe each mode in detail. If the spin program you have set does not include a spin, start another one or turn on this function separately after the wash is completed.

There are situations when the program includes a spin function, but the unit still completes the cycle, leaving the laundry wet. You may have pressed the function deactivation button before starting the washing process, after which the machine stopped spinning. In this case, simply change the settings. These problems do not indicate a breakdown of the unit and are most often caused by user inattention.

The spin function may not work due to an incorrectly selected program.

We restore balance and get rid of overload. If the LG washing machine does not spin, and the tank is full of laundry, it will report an overload with an error code displayed on the display. Many modern units, for example those produced by Indesit, Samsung or Bosch, have an imbalance detection function.

If things are unevenly distributed throughout the drum, tangled in one lump, or there are too many of them, the machine often refuses to spin. The unit will make several attempts to spin the drum, and if they are unsuccessful, it will complete the washing cycle without spinning the laundry. To solve the problem, just distribute the wet clothes manually or remove excess items, and then start the wash again.

Overloading a washing machine with laundry often causes spinning problems.

Setting up the drain. Before spinning, the unit must completely drain the water from the tank through the drain system. Therefore, when the system does not drain the water, the machine cannot spin out the laundry. First, take out the drain filter and clean it of dirt. Also check the drain hose and the pipe that connects the tank to the pump for blockages. It happens that the pump fails, then it needs to be repaired or replaced. Having eliminated all dirt and malfunctions, start the spin function again. If the drain does not work and the laundry remains wet, then the cause of the problem must be looked for elsewhere.

We are repairing the tachogenerator. Breakdown of the tachometer occurs in washing machines (for example, brands Ardo, Whirlpool, Candy, Atlant, LG or Zanussi) due to frequent overloads of the drum. If you consistently exceed the loading rate specified by the manufacturer, this element can quickly fail. The tachogenerator is installed on the motor shaft and is designed to control the number of revolutions during washing. If the sensor breaks, the washing machine will not be able to calculate the drum speed and set the correct spin speed.

A breakdown of the tachometer can lead to problems with spinning.

Another reason for the incorrect operation of the tachometer is loosening of the contacts and wires that lead to this part. To diagnose the problem, check the fasteners and, if necessary, tighten them tighter. If the wiring or adjacent contacts fail, you need to clean them and seal them with electrical tape. If the tachogenerator itself malfunctions, the part is repaired or replaced.

We repair the engine. If the washing machine is installed not with an inverter, but with a regular motor with a belt drive, the brushes in it gradually wear out, which causes problems with spinning. If the engine operates poorly, the drum cannot reach the number of revolutions required for the final stage of washing.

If you have mechanical knowledge, you can try to fix the problem yourself. You should dismantle the rear wall of the housing, then remove the belt from the motor and disconnect the wires, and then unscrew the motor itself from the tank. During diagnostics, you will be able to identify faulty engine parts and replace them with new ones.

Checking the control module. This element is responsible for the operation of all programs, including spinning. If you have already ruled out all of the above problem options, most likely, starting the spin cycle is impossible due to a module failure. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that you will be able to check the control unit at home; you will have to contact specialists. Replacing the part will be quite expensive, so it is better to find a professional technician whom you can trust to repair the device.

It is better to entrust repair of the control unit to a professional

If the washing machine does not spin, this is not a reason to write it off. We hope that in this article you will find answers to your questions and be able to quickly fix the problem.

Design features of the automatic machine

Like other washing machines, LG machines have a body that includes back and front panels, a lid and a bottom. Any device has a hatch. The most popular and in demand are front-facing models, in which the door is located on the front of the panel. Less common are products with a top hatch.

On the front of the case there is a control panel with a display and buttons. With its help you can switch programs and select the operating mode.

Next to the panel there is a tray for loading powder and conditioner (also called a powder receiver). The bottom of the hull is equipped with a technical hatch with a garbage filter and an emergency hose. The automatic machine also has a cord for operation from a 220 V network and 2 hoses.

The internal structure of the equipment is much more complex. It includes electronics (sensors, wiring), complex mechanisms, gaskets. Let's look at the main elements of an automatic machine.

1. Electronic board. This is the “brain” of the device, coordinating the functioning of the washing unit.
2. Inlet valve. Visually it is a plastic box with 1 or 2 coils. When voltage is applied, the membrane opens, due to which water is drawn into the drum.
3. Motor. Recently, LG has been releasing models equipped with a direct drive motor. Such motors do not have a belt drive. Older models have commutator motors - they have a belt that stretches during intensive use and often falls off or breaks.
4. heating element. With the help of this element, the water in the tank is heated to the set temperature provided by the program.
5. A pump or pump designed to pump water out of a tank.
6. Shock-absorbing elements that reduce vibration levels when washing and spinning clothes.

The design of the washing machine includes various cuffs, hoses and pipes.

The design of the washing machine includes various cuffs, hoses and pipes.

Regardless of the appearance of the models, automatic machines may not wring things out for the same reasons. Here are the most common ones.
