The washing machine does not wring well - what to do?

Some users do not pay attention to the fact that their automatic washing machine begins to squeeze out the laundry poorly. Meanwhile, this may be a “wake-up call" screaming that the car is about to fail, and urgent measures must be taken. In this story, we will talk about the causes of poor spinning of clothes by a machine and how to eliminate these causes.

The main causes of the malfunction

To begin, let's distinguish between the "symptoms" of malfunctions, since the causes of poor spin differ from the reasons why the machine does not squeeze things at all. In the framework of this article, we will describe precisely those cases when the washing machine squeezes the laundry poorly and tell you what to do in these cases. First of all, let's look at the reasons why the laundry remains wet at the end of the wash cycle.

1. The user chose the wrong washing mode, and because of this, the washing machine squeezed the laundry poorly.
2. The user put too much laundry in the drum, resulting in lower spin quality.
3. The engine tachometer is out of order, which is why the car squeezes at low speeds, which means poor quality.
4. There were problems with the engine brushes, as a result of which he could not accelerate the drum to the desired speed.
5. There are defects in the control board, because of which the program does not finish correctly, and the machine squeezes poorly.
6. Water from the tank after washing does not go to the end or slowly leaves, which means that the spin cycle occurs, but the laundry gets wet again.

Note! Some experts say that the machine does not squeeze out well due to broken bearings. In this case, we do not consider it correct to describe this reason in the article, since it is complex and concerns the entire washing cycle, and not just the spin cycle.

User Errors

No matter how absurd this may sound, many users still neglect the basic rules for handling an automatic washing machine. More often than not, people overload the drum or cram so many voluminous things into it that they don’t move even after getting wet. In this case, even if the machine manages to spin the drum to a speed of 1600 rpm, the spin quality will be low.

In modern washing machines there are quite a lot of different programs and additional functions. The user is lost from the number of buttons on the control panel and often chooses the wrong program for washing / rinsing / spinning for a particular type of laundry. As a result, the output remains wet, and the user has a complaint about a specific model of the washing machine. Although all that was needed was to open the instructions and carefully read it.

Note! Manufacturers in the instructions for the washing machine describe in sufficient detail which washing modes, for what types of fabric are suitable, so in order not to make a mistake in choosing a program, just open the instructions.

The aforementioned problems with spinning are easy to eliminate, you just need to remove excess laundry from the drum or select the desired program and everything will go “like clockwork”. But If the user begins to systematically shove excessive amounts of laundry into the drum, serious technical problems may occur. It is especially scary if the washing machine is not equipped with an unbalance protection system. If you wash the maximum amount of laundry all the time, it may cause a breakdown. tacho sensor. What is this fraught with?

Damage to the tachometer will result in the control board not knowing how fast the engine is running, which means that it will not be able to control it correctly, increasing and decreasing speed when it is needed. The result is quite predictable - the drum will rotate at minimum speed, and there can be no talk about any normal spin.

Damage to the tachometer is easy to diagnose. Observe the execution of the wash program. If the drum does not change the rotation speed or the speed changes inadequately to the stage of the washing program, then the problem is in it. What needs to be done?

• We remove the back wall of the “washer” along with the bracket.
• Remove the drive belt. To do this, you need to take the belt with one hand, pull it slightly, and turn the pulley with the other hand.
• The tachogenerator is located directly on the engine, disconnect the wires with terminals from the contacts.
• We pry the tachogenerator with a screwdriver and pull it off the engine.
• We get the original element and "sit" it in the place of the old.
• We dress the belt and put the back wall of the machine - the repair is completed.

Important! If you encounter any problems with the installation or dismantling of individual elements of the washing machine, consult a specialist, it is better to pay money for a minor repair than to pay for an expensive one.

Water does not completely leave the tank

Why else does the machine squeeze out the laundry badly? Due to the fact that the water from the tank does not completely leave. You ask, how is this even possible, because if there is water in the tank, the machine simply cannot correctly complete the washing program. The fact is that there are cases when water leaves the tank, but very slowly, while some of the liquid remains there, while the water level sensor does not respond to it. In the end, the washing program ends, but the spin, which should be done in a good way with the tank empty, takes place in the tank with water.

As a result, energy and time were spent, while the laundry spilled out in the drum and remained as wet as after rinsing. If you suspect that this is your case, check it out. Observe the operation of the washing machine through the hatch during the spin cycle, if you see that during the spin cycle a little water splashes there - this will mean that you need to watch the drain pipe, drain hose and filter. It will not be superfluous either check pressure switchbut this is the last thing. What to do:

1. at first clean the drain filter - this is the easiest;
2. then clean the drain hose, for this you need to unscrew it both from the machine and from the siphon;
3. if the problem persists, you will have to lower the machine on its side, remove the bottom, then dismantle the drain pipe and clean it from dirt and foreign objects;
4. after that we put the pipe in place and assemble the car.

Problems with the control board, engine failed

In rare cases, problems arise with the control board, which in turn leads to problems with the spin cycle. Typically, control board malfunctions are manifested not only in the inability to implement any washing step, but other oddities also arise:

• the machine freezes;
• washing programs jump one from another;
• the washing program does not end in any way, and after a reboot everything becomes normal;
• the lights on the control panel blink alternately.

If you do not observe such oddities, it may be too early to climb to the control board and you need to check other parts of the machine for malfunctions. But if a quick external inspection of the control unit hints at a malfunction (burnt wires coming from the unit, traces of soot on the board), it is better to invite a specialist who will figure it out. It’s better not to climb onto such an expensive and complex part yourself.

Note! Of course, it all depends on the brand of the washing machine, but on average the cost of the control unit is 1/3 of the cost of a new machine.

Why else can a washing machine squeeze out laundry? The answer may lie in the engine. The brushes inside the collector electric motor wear out over time, and it rapidly loses power. This also results in poor spin, because a weak engine does not have enough strength to spin the drum to the desired speed. Repair and inspection of the washing machine motor It will take a lot of time and require some skill, but to do this work with your own hands is quite possible.

In conclusion, we note, sometimes to find out why a washing machine refuses to squeeze normally, you need to disassemble half of this machine. A meticulous and methodical search for the cause of the malfunction will not be mastered by everyone, so if you are not confident in your abilities, seek help from a professional.
