Washing MacHine Not Spinning Off

[Waldo 96]

Got a problem with our washing machine, it’s not going in to it’s spin cycle. Other than that it’s working fine.

 

Is this likely to be something I could fix myself? Any suggestions?

Hello does it fill up and empty and does the drum move around at all

Hello. Yes, it seems to work fine (fills, empties, drum goes round etc); it’s just when it gets to the fast spin part of the programme that it doesn’t do, and so clothes all come out wet.

I was going to suggest the motor brushes

What model is it as some don't have a conventional motor

They are very good with washing machines. give them a call and ask. Good luck!

Mine won’t spin if the load is unbalanced. For instance if I wash a heavy cotton jumper I have to put something like a bath towel with it to even the load.

That's modern electric washers for you

That makes sense, presumably they have some sensor to detect unbalanced loads in the drum and prevent a fast spin.

If you have not sorted it yet empty machine and see if it will spin empty

My instructions say it’s a safety feature to stop an uneven load from damaging the drum.

Daft question but you haven’t pushed the cancel spin button have you ?
