Washing Machine Not Spinning Properly |
|

My washing machine is not spinning properly! The clothes are soaked at the end of the cycle and the fabric softener ball is not emptied. Any ideas that I can try before paying for a repairman to come to the house to take a look?
Thanks in advance!

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.

My 5 year old kenmore washer has started to intermittently fail to spin, I can push down the lid switch and give the basket a push and it will spin. HELP!

When this happened to me, I turned my empty washer over and found a broken belt lying on the floor. 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.

It sounds like either your hose could have a crimp in it or your pump isn't working properly,if the pump was working ,it would pump the water out as it spins.the hose may be clogged as was suggested before,so you'll probably end up getting a repairman out after all.

hi this has happened to our machine many times what is happening is your filter is blocked so the water cannot drain away no matter how many times the actual drum turns round in a spin
what you need to do and its quite easy is locate the filter at the back of the machine and clear it of all debris then you will find it will spin and empty properly

Are you sure it's not spinning? 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.
