If an extraneous hum is heard in the washing machine during spinning , then we can say with complete confidence that a failure has occurred in the operation of the system, one of its components has failed, some part has broken. Such signals are an important reason to stop the operating device and take appropriate measures to determine the malfunctions and conditions due to which strange sounds were heard. If such alarm signals are ignored, then it is quite possible that more serious problems will arise, entailing significant costs associated with repairs. So, what to do when the Siemens washing machine does not spin the laundry? The "spin" function is disabled, or the wash is carried out in a delicate mode

"gentle wash"

. When using this program, the machine starts working in a special mode. Simply put, the spin function is either completely absent or not performed fully, leaving clean laundry wet. This mode is necessary so as not to cause damage to even very delicate products.

What to do in such cases? You should check which mode is set for the washing machine. And if this is a gentle way of working, then just study the instruction manual for your household device.

  1. There are washing machines in which spinning is not provided at all in such modes. It is also recommended to pay attention to the keys that turn off certain modes. If your machine is not set to the “delicate wash” mode, or the button responsible for turning off the spin function is not pressed, and the clean laundry remains damp, then look for the cause in a breakdown. It's time to understand what the problem is that is causing the Siemens washing machine to not spin out clothes.
  2. The unit does not spin or drain water
  3. To identify such a malfunction, just look into the washing machine using the glass door of the loading hatch. And you shouldn’t even open it for this. When you leaned over and looked into the washing mashine, did you see dirty fluid that had not been drained? This means that the problem is not related to the spin cycle, and you need to look for a breakdown in the mechanism responsible for draining the water. One of the typical malfunctions in such a situation is the failure of the drain pump. May form

clogs in the filter element or in the pipe.If the liquid from the washing machine tank does not go into the sewer system, this means that the spin mode is not activated, and this feature is provided by the manufacturer.

. With its help, cold liquid increases its temperature to that required by a particular operating program.Irregularities in the operation of the water heating device may cause the laundry to stop spinning. In such cases, the heating element must be replaced with a new analogue.

It should be noted that in washing machines from Siemens

replacing the heating element implies certain features. As a rule, the water heating element of such devices is located behind the front wall of the housing, and in order to remove it, you will first have to dismantle the top panel. Then the following algorithm of actions is performed:the tray for washing powders is removed; The decorative panel located below is removed. It is manufactured in two versions and can have special plastic latches for fastening, which can be turned using a flat-head screwdriver;.

Having opened the loading hatch door, remove the rubber cuff along with the clamp;

Having loosened the fastening screws, pull the bottom panel towards you, moving it down. It is recommended to act carefully so as not to damage the electrical wires going to the terminals of the loading hatch locking device;

the panel must be moved to the side, the blocking connectors must be disconnected;

after this, the panel is finally removed and put away so as not to create interference.

  • Before removing the water heating element, it is necessary to disconnect all wires from it. After this, the nut of the central mounting bolt is unscrewed (not completely!). Now all that remains is to press the bolt inside the clamping bar and remove the heating device.
  • Do not forget that the temperature sensor is removed from the heating element and installed on a new analogue.Before installing a new water heater, it is recommended to carefully check the washing machine tank, removing any debris and small objects that have accumulated in it.
  • The new heating element is installed carefully, since it is necessary to accurately fit into its guide brackets of the holder. Having installed the element, tighten the nuts and connect all the electrical wires. Follow the sequence of actions to avoid making a mistake in connecting the terminals. Otherwise, your machine will not only stop spinning clothes, but will also fail completely.
  • Tachogenerator malfunction
Despite the fact that the instruction manual for a Siemens washing machine indicates the maximum load of laundry intended for washing, many users try to load the tank as much as possible. And there is nothing surprising about this - no one will weigh dirty clothes before putting them into the drum of the washing machine. Unfortunately, failure to comply with this requirement often causes the tachogenerator to fail.

 

The main signs of such a breakdown are:

a sharp change in the drum rotation speed; low number of revolutions for spinning things;During washing, the drum rotates too quickly.

The Siemens machine must be disconnected from communications, unscrew the screws holding the back cover. After this, the drive belt is inspected and removed, and the dismantling of the electric motor begins. The sensor is inspected and the strength of its fastenings is checked. After this, the part is checked for resistance and, if necessary, replaced with a new analogue.

2 comments In addition to such a malfunction, water may leak into the engine. Once all possible problematic issues have been checked, you can install the motor in place, comparing your actions with the available photographs. Make sure that the spin function is working properly, perhaps by turning on the machine and without assembling its body.
