    Breakdown stage

    The next step is to determine the moment when the washing machine stopped. The options may be:

    • The washing machine does not spin from the moment of spinning - in this case, there will be a minimum of water in the washing machine, the laundry will be completely or partially rinsed from soap, but not wrung out.
    • during washing. If the drum jammed during washing, then after opening the door you will find wet and soapy laundry inside. In this case, it is worth checking whether it is possible to manually turn the drum.
    • In the event that the drum of the washing machine rotates by hand without problems, but does not spin during washing, then the cause of this situation may be a banal overload of the washing machine with linen. In this case, the washing machine does not spin the loaded amount of laundry, as it is designed for a smaller volume.
    • "Smart" washing machines will show an error code on the electronic display, if such a function is not provided in the washing machine, it simply stops.

    Advice. Try to unload some of the laundry and run the washing machine again, the problem may be solved.

    If, when the load is reduced, the wash still does not start, then the reason may be more serious than simply exceeding the recommended load.

    Some causes of breakdowns if the washing machine has stopped spinning

    – Wear (abrasion) of the motor brushes. Solution: replace the brushes.

    - Breakdown in electronics. Solution: reprogramming or replacing the electronic module.

    - Turning on the washing machine loaded with linen causes the plugs on the electrical panel to be knocked out. Most often this is due to a break in the winding of the starter or rotor. Solution: analysis and diagnostics, replacement of the motor.
