Today, almost all household appliances contain various electronics that ensure the execution of programmed washing actions. However, a situation often arises when the washing machine stops during washing. Next, let's look at the reasons why the washing machine may stop.
Simple faults
During the washing process, the washing machine may freeze and stop. There are various reasons for equipment failures. Next, we will consider the most common causes of simple machine failures.
The weight of the laundry exceeds the norm
Some modern washing machine models are equipped with an intelligent sensor that monitors the weight of the laundry in the drum. If the washing mashine stops, you need to pull it out washing machine drum some laundry and start the wash again.
Wrong task
Some washing machine owners include delicate wash, and then they cannot understand why the washing machine does not spin. The fact is that in this mode of the washing machine there is no spin function. Turn on forced drain and then spin.
Imbalance in the drum
Sometimes a situation arises when the laundry being washed collects in a lump in the drum.As a result, the imbalance sensor turns on and the washing stops.
If such a situation arises, it is necessary to open the loading hatch of the washing machine and distribute the laundry inside the drum. Then restart the spin function.
Sensors prevent emergency situations from occurring. Such situations include excessive load on the motor due to excessive weight of the laundry, as well as vibrations due to imbalance. These measures prevent and stop household appliances from overloading.
Wrong program selected
Sometimes users select several washing modes at the same time. As a result of such an error, the washing machine stops without finishing the wash. For example, the Soak and Whitening modes should be run separately.
Manufacturers of washing machines describe all modes and programs in great detail in the attached instructions. Read the instructions for your washing machine carefully to avoid simple mistakes. The washing machine operates strictly according to the selected program, so you should be careful when choosing a mode.
Serious faults
The washing machine may not perform the functions you have specified and may stop completely for the following reasons:
- the washing machine motor has closed;
- the heating element or contacts of the supply wires have burned out;
- the drain pump pipe or filter is clogged;
- The drain pump is faulty;
- The programmer or electronic equipment has failed;
- The washer door lock is broken.
If a malfunction occurs, first find out what happened and also determine which element of the washing machine has failed and is causing the machine to stop. Then find out how to fix the problem in your particular case. You shouldn't act at random. After all, then the situation could get even worse.
Heating element malfunction
Freezing and stopping of the washing machine can occur at the very beginning of the wash cycle. This may happen due to failure of the heating element (heating element) or burning of the wiring supplying power to it.
With such a malfunction, difficulties arise with heating the water in the washing machine, and the entire sequence of specified actions is disrupted. If the timer freezes, it is necessary to check the entire electrical circuit.
The drain system is clogged
The washing machine may stop working during the spin cycle if the filter or the pipe that goes to the drain pump is clogged. In this case, you need to check:
- Drain hose;
- Filter;
- Drain pump;
- Sewage system;
- Tank drain hole;
- Sewer system.
The first thing you should check is the drain filter. If the filter is clogged, it is advisable to clean it or replace it. This whole operation is completed quite quickly.
The situation is much worse if the sewer outlet or the entire system is clogged. In this case, you will need the help of a plumber. You can clean the outlet yourself by using various chemicals. But dealing with the entire sewer system will be quite difficult.
You can clean the drain hose yourself.To disconnect the hose from the washing machine and the sink siphon, unscrew the clamps. Next, run hot water into the hose under pressure. If this does not help, take a wire with a bent end and carefully remove the clog in the drain hose.
Door not closing tightly
The washing machine may stop working and stop if the door is not closed tightly. This may occur due to a failure of the lock or a loose fit of the cuff. Inexpensive washing machines often have poorly fitting and hard rubber seals. To fix this problem, you need to carefully remove excess rubber from the cuff using sandpaper.
