Why Is My Washing Machine Not Spinning? This May Be the Reason
Are you left with soggy laundry because your washer isn’t spinning? This common problem is often caused by issues like an unbalanced load, faulty door switches, or clogged drains. Our technicians will diagnose the cause and repair or replace any faulty parts, ensuring your washing machine works efficiently.
Common Causes of a Washing Machine Not Spinning
Unbalanced Load Throwing Things Off
If your washing machine isn’t spinning, the culprit might be something as simple as an unbalanced load. Large items like blankets or towels can bunch up on one side, making the drum wobble and stop spinning. The fix? Pause your washer, even things out, or remove a few items to give it some breathing room.
Clogged Drain Pump Stopping the Flow
When your washer can’t drain water, it won’t spin. Clogs in the drain pump or hose are a common issue, think lint, coins, or even a rogue sock. Grab a flashlight, check for blockages, and clear them out. A clean pump keeps your washer running smoothly.
Faulty Door or Lid Switch Messing Things Up
If the washer thinks the door is open, it’s not going to spin, simple as that. A broken door or lid switch can trick the machine into stalling. If this sounds like your issue, replacing the switch is usually a quick and easy fix.
