Just recently - just a quarter of a century ago - the presence of a washing machine in the house could not boast of farevery average citizen of our country. However, today this "technology miracle" can be found in almost every apartment. And, if before, the housewife was enough that the laundry is washed without their participation, now the washing machine has higher requirements: in addition to its main function, it must squeeze, and sometimes dry, laundry. It has become so familiar that a stiralk without a spin regime is considered an almost useless thing.
In this article we will tell you about what to do if the washing machine stopped wringing clothes: in which cases you can solve the problem yourself, and in which you have to call the wizard.
What malfunctions can be eliminated by hand?
In some cases, without the help of a professional repairman master can not do, but there are situations when the interruptions in the washing machine are caused by non-serious problems that can be solved without even having special knowledge in home appliances.
A washing program that does not spin
is started. If your washing machine is more or less of a modern design, then it certainly has several wash modes for different types of fabrics. Some tissues require a particularly careful attitude. As a rule, it is natural silk or wool.
When wringing, these fabrics can be deformed, so they are usually washed in a gentle or delicate washing mode, without further pressing. Carefully read the instruction manual of the washing machine: it describes in detail all the washing programs.
The drum of the washing machine
is out of balance. In order for the drum of the washing machine to be able to rotate normally at high speed( namely, this speed is necessary for spinning), it is necessary that the load be distributed evenly. If during washing the laundry is knocked into a heap, the drum can not develop the required speed, and spin does not occur. The problem can be solved by forcibly completing the washing, pulling out the laundry, evenly distributing it and again running the spin mode.
Also, the machine can "refuse" to squeeze out if the maximum permissible weight of the laundry is exceeded. Recommendations for the number of kilograms are indicated in the instructions or directly on the body of the washing machine in the form of markings.
Clogged in the sewer pipes
Sometimes the washing machine does not wring out due to some malfunctions in its mechanism, but for external reasons. One of these reasons is a clogged sewage system. To start the spin mode, it is necessary that the drum of the washing machine was emptied, that is, that the water has merged. But this is impossible if the sewerage output is blocked due to a clog inside the pipe. In this case, the water remains in the drum, and the spin mode can not start.
It's very simple to find out if it's a blockage: it is enough to detach the drain hose from the sewer and put it in a tub or sink, and then turn on the spin program. If everything worked, then the source of the problem is detected. You can get rid of the blockage by cleaning the pipe with a cable, or by filling it with a special remedy.
One of the drain elements
Forgetting to turn out the pockets of clothes before washing, we put the washing machine in serious danger. Forgotten things in your pockets - coins, paper napkins, tickets, matches, chewing gum and other such trifles - can cause serious damage. Most often, all this falls into the drain system of the unit, thereby preventing its normal operation.
To determine what the problem is in this, the drain filter must first be extracted. It is located in one of the lower corners of the washing machine, behind the small door on the front panel. How to pull out and clean this part is detailed in the user manual.
Another element of the drain system, which can clog, is the impeller. It is directly behind the drain filter. You can not pull it out, but you can examine it for foreign bodies by using a flashlight.
We finish our inspection by checking the drain hose. If clog formed in it, the hose should be well blown, and even better - rinse under a strong stream of water.
To eliminate the blockage, see the video of the channel "Repair of washing machines - video".
When is a specialist needed?
If after the self-diagnosis you failed to establish the reason why the washing machine does not press the laundry, then the problem is more serious, and it will be more difficult to cope with it on its own. For assistance, a specialist should be contacted in the following cases.
The
water level sensor is faulty Modern washing machines are sophisticated electronic devices that have intelligent functions. Therefore, problems in any element affect the operation of the entire system. On most new models of washers, a sensor is installed that fixes the water level in the tank. If this sensor is not all right, it can signal that there is water in the tank, although in fact it is empty.
As is known, if water remains in the tank, the spin-off mode is automatically blocked. A broken sensor needs to be replaced.
Drain Pump Faulted If before the problems with wringing out were detected, the unit made a strange noise, while the water was drained, most likely the cause of the malfunction lies in the drain pump. If this part of the washing machine is broken, the spin mode will not start. Identify this type of breakdown is very easy. Release access to the impeller pump and, without typing in the water machine, run the spin mode: if the impeller does not turn, then the drain pump is defective and needs replacing.
For replacement of the pump, see the video of the "Wash +" channel.

TESTER
Broken Tubular heating element, or TEN - this is a very important part of the washing machine. If it breaks down, the washing process itself is often impossible. Most often, the heater is broken due to poor tap water( for example, too hard) or because of the use of household chemicals with aggressive chemical composition.
When the heater is faulty, the water can not reach the required temperature and the washing automatically stops. The modern models of washing machines display an error message in this case.
The condition of the heater is determined with the help of special equipment that is available from professional repairmen.
To replace the heater in the LG washing machine, see the video of the channel of Vladimir Khatuntsev.
Malfunction of the
The pick-up device is another important element in the device of the washing machine, the existence and purpose of which is not known to everyone. The pickup is needed in order to control the speed of the styrler engine. When the engine speed decreases( for example, due to overload), the gear unit signals and the unit can be stopped. If the sensor is broken, a false alarm occurs. Problems with the vehicle can arise for various reasons, but most often this is due to a problem in the wires connecting it to the "brain" of the machine.
Problems with the operation of the
engine The stability of the washing machine depends, first of all, on the serviceability of the engine. The engine is a rather complicated device, therefore it is better to entrust it to a specialist. However, before contacting the master, you can try to diagnose yourself. To begin with, you need to disconnect the styralka from the mains, push it away from the wall and remove the back cover. Next, we recommend that you take pictures of each step in order to later collect everything exactly as it was.
Carefully remove the engine and check the integrity of all its components. For example, carbon brushes can wear out - in this case they become thinner and become covered with carbon.
In addition to this, the engine can get wet due to the fact that a leak has formed somewhere. For further clarification of the problem, it is recommended to call for professional help.
An example of repairing a Bosch washing machine, which stops squeezing in the 6th minute due to engine breakdown as a result of a jumped magnet, you can see in the next video.
Electronics-related problems
The hardware-software module is a kind of "brain" that controls the operation of the washing machine. It is responsible for the functioning of programs and sensors. If a problem occurs in the programmer's work, it is resynchronized or reset all its settings. These problems can arise due to a drop in the mains voltage or the penetration of water into the device. The cause of the malfunction is often also the factory marriage.

Tips for
If the warranty period has not expired, it is advisable to contact the service center for assistance. Do this immediately, without attempting to self-diagnosis and repair. The fact is that the warranty service does not accept electronics, which has already been repaired.
Problems with pressing can be prevented if in time to pay attention to the malfunction of the washing machine. That there are any problems, say the following "symptoms":
- after the completion of washing and spinning, the laundry is still too wet;
- during the washing the unit produces extraneous noises: hum, tapping, etc.;
- the water suddenly started to merge more slowly than usual.
Do not forget about prevention. After each washing with the machine, several manipulations must be carried out. First, rinse the tray to feed the detergent. Secondly, get wet with a soft rag on the sealing hatch on the hatch and clean it of debris. Third, dry the drum, leaving the car door open for several hours.
For the care of the washing machine you should choose the right household chemicals. Use only those cleaners that are designed for this type of household appliance.
