The washing machine turns on, fills with water, begins the wash cycle, but then nothing happens, or the process stops in the middle of the cycle. This is a fairly common malfunction. The wash has stopped because the drum is not spinning. What can be done?
First, empty the tank. To do this, unplug the washing machine from the outlet, drain the water using the drain filter, and remove all the laundry. Try to understand from the state of things exactly when the drum stopped. If things are damp, but not soapy, there is a problem with the spin cycle. Things covered in foam are a sure sign that the drum has stopped during washing. Try turning it by hand - when movement occurs, the recommendations below will help. If you need to purchase new parts, you can contact the company.
Drum overload
It's possible that you've loaded too many things into the loop. Modern machines have built-in mass sensors that fail when the drum is overloaded. Advanced models may display errors on the display. If there is no screen, the equipment will simply install. Try removing some things and starting a new cycle.
The controller has failed
Most likely, the problem is in the board elements or tracks in the motor control circuits. Accordingly, you need to check the resistance, relays, triacs, etc.Changes in mains voltage often lead to breakdowns. Symptoms of a controller malfunction - after starting, the machine locks the door, draws water, then the cycle stops. Repair involves soldering tracks and replacing broken parts.
The motor is broken
Namely: the windings have broken, or an interturn short circuit has occurred in the motor. The symptoms are the same as in the case of the controller. If possible, the engine is repaired; if not, it is replaced with a new one.
Attention to bearings
Wear of the oil seal leads to liquid entering the bearing, corrosion, and destruction of the part. At first, the washing machine will rattle during the spin cycle, then the drum will stop spinning. The only way to solve the problem is to replace the old bearings with new ones.
The washing machine belt has failed
If the belt falls off, constantly slips, or simply breaks, the drum may spin every once in a while. It is the belt drive that is responsible for transmitting the torque from the motor to the drum of the machine. Wear and tear is inevitable over time; problems arise even after long periods of equipment downtime. Symptoms of a broken belt are programs running, the motor humming when the drum is not rotating.
