A washer that won’t spin usually has a load imbalance, drainage issue, or a door that isn’t locking properly.
Common causes
- Unbalanced load
- Blocked drain pump
- Door lock fault
- Overloaded drum
1. Unbalanced load
The machine stops spinning to protect itself.
Quick fixes:
- Redistribute clothes
- Remove heavy items like towels
2. Blocked drain pump
Water can’t drain, so spinning won’t start.
Quick fixes:
- Clean the filter
- Check for coins or debris
3. Door lock fault
The machine won’t spin unless fully locked.
Quick fixes:
- Push the door firmly
- Check for broken latches
What to try first
Redistribute the load — it fixes most spin issues.
