Why is the washing machine not spinning?

How to solve the issue, that the washing machine is not spinning properly or has stopped spinning?

The washing machine hoses are kinked or blocked.

How to check the water connection of your washing machine?

  • Check that there are no kinks in the cold water fill hose and the waste water hose by pulling the appliance out slightly and untwisting any visible kinks or bends in these hoses.
  • Also ensure that the waste water hose is not blocked by removing the waste water hose from the siphon connection, putting the end of the hose in a bucket and selecting the drain programme. If there is a blockage, water will not fill, or struggle to fill, the bucket. If a blockage is found, clean the waste water hose and siphon.

The filter is blocked.

Clean the filter and remove any foreign objects which could be blocking the impeller. A blocked filter will prevent your washing machine to spin properly or will stop spinning. For more information on how to clean your washing machine filter, follow the link below.

Unbalanced load detected.

To protect your washing machine, if it detects an imbalanced load or the drum is overloaded, the spin cycle will not run or it will only run at a reduced speed. For more information on how to fill your washing machine correctly, follow the link below.
