My Washing Machine Has Stopped Spinning?

One of the most common reasons why a washing machine stops spinning is that the pump that is clogging is not able to drain properly. If your drain pump is clogged, it cannot drain water, so your machine does not spin.

When the washing machine cannot spin the water off your clothes, or it cannot get all of the water off of the machine, you will get a wet, heavy load. Aside from the filling and draining of the water, spinning the machine is how clothes are cleaned. The spin on the drum of your washer is also how water is eventually spun off of your clothes, so they get to your dryer less wet all over.

Its drum will spin as well (but more quickly) as it pulls the water out of your clothes. If your drum stops spinning halfway through your cycle, try turning off your appliance, dumping out any water, and then rearrange your laundry. If this happens, the drum cannot rotate anymore, no spin cycle is performed, and no laundry is washed.

If the washing machines drum is spinning, but it is not going to spin quickly, then the problem may be something as simple as a loaded unbalanced. Interestingly, an unbalanced load could also be the inverse of a problem, with a spinning cycle inefficient and failing to complete. To avoid damage, todays machines spin slower if a load is not balanced, stopping and starting the spin cycle in order to attempt to re-align the load.

An unbalanced laundry load may result in drainage problems and/or spin problems with the machine. Spinning your wash load quickly, where only a single piece of laundry is heavy, could cause your machine damage. If the items you are washing are too heavy, the machine might not have enough momentum to continue spinning.

The above issues are the most common reasons your machine might not spin. Here are a few more common reasons that we tend to see washing machine failures that are related to spinning issues and drainage issues. Fortunately, a lot of the reasons why your washing machine is spinning cannot be fixed quickly and easily. If your washing machine is not spinning, that may be an indication that something is wrong, and you need to call in the repairman, but usually, a simple DIY repair will make the washing machine spin again.

If your washing machine does not empty or spin the clothes by the time your cycle is done, you know. If your washer is spinning, but your clothes are still soggy, it could mean your belt is damaged, or that your system is spinning not fast enough. If your washing machine is not spinning, you should check for signs of excessive heat or wear on your drive belt. If you started the washing machine and returned when it was supposed to finish, only to find that it was still spinning, there might be something wrong.

If your washer is filled with water, but is not stirring, it is more than likely that a switch on your lid is bad, belt is busted, or there is an issue with your motor. A clogged drainage trap may be a common, non-mechanical cause of front-loading washing machines that do not spin.

If the drain trap itself becomes clogged, the machine will shut down. The machine automatically turns off when it perceives that load is imbalanced, in order to avoid mechanical damage.

When a wax motor fails, a door latch will not be engaged, preventing the machine from spinning. If either the door lock or slammer fails, you will see a digital error code, and the washing machine will stop stirring and rotating. If a plastic tab is broken, the washer may stop on some cycles.
A torn drive belt, or a drive belt that has fallen off a pulley, may result in the washer stirring throughout the washing cycle, but – in spite of the motors whirring noise – the drum remains stationary throughout the spinning cycle. A worn clutch may stop the washing machine spinning, or it could result in slow spin speeds, leaving your clothes damp after one cycle. Additional symptoms that your clutch might be the reason for your problems are catching on to-brake dust or shavings under your washing machine, a mild burning smell, or loud noises while spinning.

If you are sure that your loads are balanced, but your clothes are still coming out with drips, it is possible you will need to get the damaged engine pulley, tub bearing, belt, or clutch replaced. On top-loading washing machines, you should also check to make sure that the drive pulley is turning freely both in spin and in agitation, and that nothing is blocking movement of the agitator or washbasket, which could be causing a belt to slide off the pulley.

Loading incorrectly may result in an uneven load, which may either cause a scuff and clang, or result in the washer not spinning at all. To prevent causes, the Beko washer automatically checks your load and stops the spinning process if it is not evenly distributed within the Drum. As a safety precaution, the washing machine shuts off, which causes the load to stop halfway through — before the water is flushed out and/or the clothes are spun.

As a result, your washing machine does not get up to an appropriate spinning rate, leaving your clothes dripping wet by the end of the cycle. Therefore, reaching proper speeds in the spin cycle becomes impossible, leaving your clothes still soggy at the end of the spin cycle. The time in the spin cycle will bounce back and forth wildly and the washing machine will eventually grind to a halt, but your clothes will be wet anyway. Brushes may become worn out over time, meaning that your machine will fill with water and flush normally, but your wash will be unable to spin, and your clothes will not be cleaned efficiently.

If your machine is draining very slowly (or does not drain at all), a blockage somewhere in the draining system is most likely to be to blame. Anything that impacts the capacity of your washing machine to properly remove the water from it is going to result in the water backing up in your washing machine, as there is just no other place for the water to go.
