Possible Causes

Blocked drain pump or hose, faulty pressure switch not detecting empty tub, worn motor brushes, unbalanced load detection preventing spin

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before accessing pump or wiring.

Steps:

  • Check drain: Ensure the machine drains fully (see F05). A tub that does not empty will prevent spin.
  • Load distribution: Avoid single heavy items (e.g., one blanket). Redistribute laundry and run spin again.
  • Pressure switch: Clean the pressure hose and chamber so the control can detect an empty tub (see F04/F10).
  • Motor brushes: Inspect and replace worn brushes if the motor struggles to reach high speed.

Note: Some models will attempt several balance corrections before spinning; this is normal unless it never reaches full spin.
