From unbalanced loads to drain pump faults, here is a practical guide for washer spin failures.
A washer may refuse to spin due to load imbalance, lid lock failures, drain blockages, or drive belt wear. Start by redistributing laundry and running a drain-and-spin cycle.
If water remains in the drum, inspect the drain filter for debris and confirm the drain hose is not kinked. Drain restrictions often prevent the spin cycle from starting.
When the problem repeats, schedule a diagnostic visit. Continued use can damage bearings or the motor assembly and increase repair costs.
