Why won't my LG washing machine spin and how to troubleshoot?

The washing machine is a "helper" that saves the hostess's energy and her time for washing things. Many manufacturers offer such household appliances, but the consumer is especially fond of LG brand devices: they are famous for their durability. However, any technique breaks down or malfunctions over time. A common malfunction is the "refusal" of the machine to wring out things. Let's figure out what to do in this case and how to fix this problem.

Like other washers, LG machines have a body that includes a back and front panels, a lid and a bottom. A hatch is provided on any device. The most popular and demanded are front models, in which the door is located on the front of the panel. Products with a top hatch are less common.

Next to the panel there is a tray for loading powder and a conditioning agent (also called a powder receptacle). The bottom of the hull is equipped with a technical hatch with a provided debris filter and an emergency hose. The automatic machine also has a cord for operation from a 220 V network and 2 hoses.

The internal structure of technology is much more complicated. It includes electronics (sensors, wiring), complex mechanisms, gaskets. Let's consider the main elements of an automatic machine.

1. Electronic board. This is the “brain” of the appliance, coordinating the functioning of the washing unit.
2. Inlet valve. Visually it is a plastic box with 1 or 2 coils. When voltage is applied, the membrane opens, due to which water is collected into the drum.
3. Motor. Recently, LG has been producing models equipped with a direct drive motor. There is no belt drive in such motors. In older models, collector motors are installed - they have a belt that stretches during intensive use, often flies or breaks.
4. Heating element. With the help of this element, the water in the tank is heated to the set temperature provided by the program.
5. Pump or pumpdesigned for pumping water out of the tank.
6. Shock absorbing elementsthat reduce the level of vibration during washing and spinning.

The design of the washing machine provides various cuffs, hoses and pipes.

Regardless of the appearance of the models, automatic machines may not wring out things for the same reasons. Here are the most common ones.

Most of the reasons can be dealt with on their own, without calling a professional master.

If the washing machine does not wring out the laundry, you should not be upset. The problem does not always lie in the breakdown of the mechanical or electronic components of the unit. Housewives often make mistakes themselves when operating equipment, which is why it begins to malfunction.

1. Too many items are loaded into the drum. Please note that each model of the washing machine comes with an instruction manual, which contains information on the maximum permissible load. If the rate is exceeded, a special sensor will block the spin function due to malfunctions of the motor.
2. Wrong mode selected. In some models of washing machines for hand and delicate washing, spinning of the laundry is not provided. If one of these modes is selected, the user will remove the wet laundry from the drum after washing.
3. Accidentally pressed "no spin" button.
4. Too few items are loaded in the drum. This can cause an imbalance and the machine will freeze during the spin phase.

Situations in which the machine washes-erases and stops halfway are common. Often, users are faced with a problem in which the machine washed the laundry, and when the spin program was started, it hung up sharply. There are several reasons for this malfunction.

1. Breakage of the linen balance sensor. This electronic part is included in the new generation washing machines. It is absent in outdated models. If the sensor fails, the board will not receive a corresponding signal, which is why the machine will not start spinning in order to prevent strong vibrations.
2. Failure of the depreciation system. Due to damaged shock absorbers, many models of modern automatic machines are able to "slow down" the push-up process so that other mechanisms and electronic components do not fail.
3. Damage to the tachometer. This electronics is responsible for high-speed control of the drum rotation. If the tachometer is broken, the board will not be able to "determine" the number of rotations and will stop the machine.
4. Faulty water level sensor (pressure switch). In the event of such a breakdown, water may remain in the drum, and the device will not be able to recognize it. As a result, the machine may freeze between rinsing and spinning.

The automatic machine has completed the washing process, but the clothes remain wet - this is a common reason why users of household appliances turn to specialized service centers. Let's figure out why the spin does not work to the fullest. The most common problem is clogging of the drain filter or pipes with dirt or small debris. The slags do not allow the liquid to pass through, which is why the water partially remains in the drum. In this case, the laundry will be wet or poorly wrung out.

Motor malfunction. In case of various breakdowns, the motor can function intermittently, without giving out the standard power. In this case, the machine will wash the clothes, but will not wring them out. The fact is that the centrifuge mode requires a significant increase in the number of drum revolutions. If the engine is defective, it will not be able to fully perform this task and the laundry will remain wet.

A rare problem is the failure of the control unit. Such a malfunction leads to incorrect operation of the automatic machine. In this case, the washing unit may freeze while spinning or not spin the laundry at all.

What to do if the LG machine has stopped spinning the washed laundry - this question is often asked by those who for the first time or have already repeatedly removed wet clothes from the drum. There are a number of steps to take before diagnosing.

1. It is necessary to pay attention to the selected mode - perhaps spinning is not provided in it. In this case it is necessary to select "Spin" and set the required number of revolutions.
2. Check if the washing machine is overloaded. If a lot of things are thrown into the drum, the device will try to spin the drum several times, but if the motor is heavily loaded, it will stop every time.You need to get out the excess laundry, evenly distribute the remaining items on the drum and activate the "Spin".

If, after the actions taken, the machine still does not wring out, you should proceed with the diagnosis. First of all, you need to check the filters and pipes for contamination. To do this, it is recommended to unscrew the drain valve and clean it. Carefully inspect the drain hose and branch pipe and clean if they are clogged. After that, all the parts are installed in place, and the operability of the machine is checked.

If the problem persists, you need to check the fastening of the tachometer - if it is loose, tighten it. Experts recommend paying attention to the wiring and contacts - if necessary, they need to be cleaned and additional insulation made.

The automatic machine often cannot cope with spinning the laundry when the brushes are worn out in the engine. To eliminate the malfunction, disconnect the device from the power supply and disassemble the case. Disconnect the wires, belt from the electric motor. After that, the motor is removed, and you can check the tachometer, brushes, just in case, ring the coils. When faulty units are found, they should be replaced with new ones.

The biggest problem is the breakdown of the electronic module. Some models of washing machines have a diagnostic mode. To activate it, press the Spin and Temp buttons at once. After starting the diagnostics, "Start" is selected and the device will enter the spin mode. Lack of revolutions will indicate a malfunction of the board. You will not be able to fix it yourself - for this you need special diagnostic equipment and tools. Unfortunately, fixing this problem is expensive.
