A washing machine that won’t spin can leave you with soaking wet clothes and a lot of frustration. This is one of the most common faults we repair across Chippenham and nearby areas.
Here are the main reasons your washing machine might not be spinning properly.
Unbalanced Load
If the load inside the drum is uneven, the machine may refuse to spin to prevent damage. Try redistributing the clothes and running the cycle again.
Blocked Pump or Filter
A blocked pump or filter can stop the machine from draining water. If water remains in the drum, the machine won’t enter the spin cycle.
Worn Carbon Brushes
On many machines, worn motor brushes can stop the drum from spinning. This is a very common issue and usually requires replacement parts.
Faulty Door Lock
If the door lock isn’t engaging properly, the machine may not spin as a safety precaution.
Drive Belt Issues
A loose or broken drive belt can prevent the drum from turning altogether. This will need to be repaired or replaced.
When to Call a Professional
While simple issues like unbalanced loads can be fixed at home, electrical or mechanical faults should be handled by a qualified engineer.
