You habitually threw the laundry into the washing machine, launched the appropriate program and switched to other things. After some time, come to check how the process is going, and you understand that, according to the program, it should already be wrung out, and your washing machine is not gaining momentum, and the drum keeps spinning, as if it is in wash mode.
Of course, if the washing machine is not spinning up, then the laundry will be completely wet and you will have to wring it out by hand. What to do?
The main thing is not to panic. It is possible that you can independently find the reason why the washing machine engine is not gaining momentum.
And we will tell you what you need to pay attention to first of all:
- Check if the spin adjustment button is accidentally pressed.. The functionality of the vast majority of washing machines allows you to adjust the spin force. You may have accidentally selected the low spin option. This happens especially often if your washing machine has a speed control using a mechanical regulator.
- Check the selected washing program: if you have selected a woolen/delicates wash program, then a low spin speed is normal, because it is precisely such a gentle spin that will not harm your clothes and keep them looking great.
Have you checked the number of revolutions and the program, and everything is in order there?
Stop washing if possible, or wait until the end of the program and check the total weight of the laundry. Sometimes the washing machine does not gain momentum during the spin cycle for the following reasons:
- Washing machine overloaded. If the total weight of the laundry you have taken out of the washing machine is higher than the maximum for the program, try loading the laundry in two parts for spinning.
- There is too little laundry in the washing machine. Some models of washing machines have a minimum loading weight. Try adding a large terry towel (of course, clean) to the company with your linen, this will help solve the problem of lack of weight.
- Possibly weight imbalance. This can happen if some heavy thing is washed or a lot of small things get into the duvet cover during the washing process. If the washing machine does not pick up speed for this reason, disassemble and spread the laundry evenly in the drum and try to spin again.
Below you will find the most common reasons why the washing machine is gaining momentum poorly or not at all:
| What can be broken? | Causes of the problem: | Repair price: |
| Breakdown of the pressure switch (water level sensor) | This sensor is responsible for transmitting data to the control module about the actual water level in the washing machine.When it breaks, it sends false signals, such as that there is water in the tank, when in fact there is no water. So it keeps running water drain program, and the revolutions are kept to a minimum. Solution: replace the sensor |
from 1200 rubles |
| Tachometer failure (responsible for speed control) | This sensor is responsible for changing the speed drum rotation. In the event of a breakdown, it can send incorrect commands to increase speed, then the washing machine either picks up speed sharply or does not pick up speed at all.
Solution: replace the sensor |
from 1300 r. |
| Breakdown of the electronic module / programmer | These are the so-called "brains" of your washing machine: electronic module for models with electronic control, and the programmer for versions with mechanics. Breakdowns of this most important unit lead to various malfunctions in the system, for example, the washing machine does not gain momentum. Solution: reprogram or replace the board. |
from 1500 r. |
| Engine failure | Engine malfunctions such as:
Solution: repair/replace the engine |
from 1500 r. |
| Drive belt failure | Worn drive belt leads to a weakening of traction. In this case, when high speeds are reached, the belt may spin idle, due to which the total speed drops significantly.
Solution: Replace drive belt |
from 700 rubles |
* The table shows the basic price for services.The total cost of repairs depends on the type of breakdown and the cost of spare parts for a particular model of washing machine and is calculated by the master after the inspection.
** The prices shown are the cost of the work of a specialist and do not include the price of spare parts.
In addition to the above situations, it happens that the washing machine does not wring out because the water does not drain. If you see that this is the reason, then we recommend that you read our article on Why is the washing machine not draining?
In any case, if it suddenly turned out that your washing machine is not gaining momentum during the spin cycle, do not worry, but call the master
Our specialist will promptly free diagnosticswill determine the exact cause of the breakdown and carry out a qualified repair. One call - and the problem with turnover will be solved as soon as possible.
there is no power on the Rainbow washing machine, the motor hums but does not start itself, only when you push everything works, what is the reason for the engine or the starting capacitor?
Ariston machine - new brushes! ten new! no water inside! when gaining speed in the spin mode - it knocks out the RCD! in the process of washing everything is fine!
