Sometimes become annoying to us, especially when we go to clean our clothes on Saturdays and Sundays. After putting clothes inside the washing machine, we find that the washing machine’s tub is not spinning. It happens due to several reasons which we are not even aware of. Just by taking some small considerations, we can even come out of these problems within seconds.
If you are a regular user of washing machines, you could have come across this problem couple of times.
We have compiled some of the reasons for these problems which can be sorted out by taking some small steps and starting our cleaning as soon as possible.
Three Reasons Why Your Washing Machine Won’t Spin
Overload of the washing machine
It sounds simple, but this may be one of the reasons why your washing machine stops spinning? So, it is clear that if your washing machine has stopped spinning, then overload may be the problem. Therefore, despite thinking that your washing has got some technical problem or the drum or tub is broken, consider this as the first reason.
Most of the time, when a washing machine detects overload, it does not even start, or if it starts, the movement of the tub would not be proper. So, first of all, remove some of the clothes put inside your tub and then try to start it again. We have found that in 90 per cent of the cases, this problem exists for not spinning the tub.
Also, always keep some room inside the tub and do not fill the whole tub with clothes as water also requires some space to clean up your clothes.
Unevenly distribution of clothes inside the tub.
Spinning happens due to the actuator that balances the tub, keeping the tub in the centre. Due to the uneven load distribution, the spinning can cause serious damage to your washing machine. Therefore, it is always instructed to the washing machine not to spin in this case.
Therefore, to eliminate this problem, just take out the clothes from the tub and then redistribute them inside the tub again.
However, it can also happen if you put 1-2 clothes inside the tub. So, it is always advised to put some of the load inside the tub as a small load also distorts the ttub’sbalance.
The washing machine is not at the level.
Yes, this could also be a simple reason for not spinning your tub. When your washing machine is not at level, there are chances that when it starts spinning, it will start moving from its place, which can cause serious problems to other parts. Therefore, most of the washing machine is directed to stop spinning in this case.
This occurs most of the time in a semi-automatic washing machine, which can be moved from one part of your home to another. These are often provided with wheels for them to ease moving.
Therefore, always look for the level ground before placing your washing machine and before the start of any cleaning cycle.
