The final stage of the washing machine is spinning. Consumers sometimes do not pay attention to this function, because it is initially included in almost every program. But if there is a need to spin clothes separately, difficulties arise in starting this mode. And everything is simple if you know what the spin icon looks like on a washing machine of a particular brand.
Symbol
Many people are interested in what the spin icon looks like. It is represented by a twisted spiral that looks like a snail. The difference may be the number of turns, but this does not matter. If such a picture is crossed out, this means that the function is not available in the installed program.
This function is placed separately in the machine so that it is only possible to spin things, occasionally combining this process with rinsing.
The number of revolutions depends on the specific model of the machine, ranging from 400 to 1,800 rotations per minute. The degree of drying of things depends on the speed of the drum rotation.
Spin on washing machines of various models
The front panel of the washing machine body has symbols that facilitate the operation of the household unit.To understand the meaning of each of them, you should study the accompanying operating instructions for the device. It provides an explanation of all the icons and provides recommendations on how to effectively use this or that function.
By using abbreviations and pictograms, the manufacturer was able to place the maximum amount of information in a minimum space. Just know right away that the symbols of the main operations of washing machines from different companies often coincide.
It is believed that the image of the spinning process belongs to the group that displays the main operating functions of the unit.

Rules for using the spin
There is nothing complicated about this; every user can cope with the task. This is probably one of the simple functions available in a washing machine:
- Having determined the volume of wet things, we put them in the drum of the machine. Here it is important to put in a sufficient amount without overloading the unit and without making too small a deposit - otherwise the device will generate an error signal and will not execute the program;
- the loading hatch door closes;
- the toggle switch handle is set to the “spin” position;
- on the control panel we find a button with which we select the desired speed mode and set the optimal speed;
- we start the washing machine.
What to do when you can’t wring things out?
There are situations when the function is not used. This is due to the peculiarity of things, recommendations for spinning which can be clarified on the label. As a rule, such badges are on things made from delicate materials. When you see a similar sign, turn off the spin speed so as not to damage the product.
Some tips
Machines for washing clothes are considered complex devices, and the “poke” method is not suitable for studying them.By pressing several buttons at once, you can activate a program that is inappropriate for the loaded items, launch incompatible functions, or make a mistake in choosing the speed. Violations of operating rules will damage not only things, but also the unit itself.
You should not rely on knowledge of previous machines, because the manufacturer is constantly improving the installations by introducing certain changes. It is necessary to start using a new washing machine after carefully studying its operating instructions.
Conclusion
Remember that the symbol on the washing machine indicating the spin cycle is considered the most understandable. But you should still know all the features of using this mode in order to set the required number of revolutions.
