Washing Machine Not Spinning Properly

RE: Washing Machine Not Spinning Properly Post By jay (Guest Post) (05/14/2008) I have just bought a new washing machine and it keeps saying "unbalanced". What does this mean as it's leaving my clothes soaking after being washed. I looked it up in the manual but it just says unbalanced of your laundry. Please help. Editor's Note: This usually happens when you put too many items in the washing machine or have some really heavy items on one side, such as jeans. If you take some out or shift them around, you should be able to get it back in balance. If this doesn't fix your problem, I would call the manufacturer as it should be still under warranty.

I called the local supplier for such and reinstalled it myself. It's been about 10 years, so I don't remember if it was TOO hard, but I believe it was NOT too hard with proper tools, otherwise I would have called repair because I had money then. God bless you for being willing to ask around and to try to DIY first to be more FRUGAL.

Sometimes the hose or the drain pipe gets clogged and the water just doesn't have a place to go. So check it out before you give up.
