Spin sign on a washing machine
Spin is the final stage of washing on most automatic washing machines. Many users do not think about choosing this function, because it is included in almost all washing programs. Therefore, not everyone pays attention to what the spin icon looks like. And if it is necessary to press things separately, they begin to think about how to launch this function. Everything is quite simple, see for yourself.
What does this icon look like?
The spin sign looks the same on all washing machines. It is a twisted spiral resembling a snail. The icon may differ only in the number of turns, but this is not at all important.
The spin function in washing machines is carried out separately so that you can only spin the laundry. Sometimes spinning is combined with rinsing. Spin speed depends on the specific model of the washing machine and can vary from 400 to 1800 rpm. The higher the drum rotation speed, the drier the laundry will be.
You should not chase the spin speed; in most cases, you should not spin clothes at too high a speed, as this can damage the fabric. 1000 – 1200 rpm is the optimal spin, which most people use and are satisfied with the result.
How to use the spin
This mode is easy to use. Anyone can master it. Perhaps these are the basics of operating an automatic washing machine.
- We put the wet laundry in the drum, taking into account its volume. You cannot put a small amount of laundry in the machine, just as you cannot overload it, because in both cases the washing machine will generate an error and stop the program.
- Close the hatch door.
- Turn the toggle switch to the “Spin” mode.
- By pressing the spin speed selection button on the control panel, we set the required number of revolutions.
- Press the start button (start).
You can also change the spin speed for the washing program. In some cases, the program may prohibit spinning at high speeds, limiting the selection to low speeds.
What to do if the item cannot be wrung out?
In some situations, spinning has to be turned off. You can determine whether a thing is worth wrung out by looking at clothing label. Such a label or tag, among other useful signs, may contain the designation “prohibition of spinning” or “prohibition of twisting”. Usually such badges are placed on clothes made of delicate fabric. If you see signs like these, then spinning in a machine (centrifuge) or twisting the product is prohibited.
In this case, washing machines have a spin switch off function. To do this, you need to press the spin speed selection button and set it to “no spin.” On some machines this function is indicated by a crossed out spiral. For example, as in the pictures below.
For your information! By turning off the spin cycle, you only eliminate the final stage of the spin cycle. The spin cycle between washing stages will remain as it is included in the program and cannot be turned off. But note that such a spin is performed at lower speeds.
As you can see, the spin sign on a washing machine is one of the most understandable. It is universal for all washing machines, but everyone who has an automatic washing machine should know the nuances of its use. Now you know how to use this function correctly. Good luck!

Thank you! It came in handy, otherwise I was wondering whether I could wring out clothes or not.
But the water doesn’t flow into the machine, the signs are all on
Super! Thank you))
Siberia had a high-speed spin of 2700 rpm. And modern cars boast 1200/1600 rpm. In general, modern technology does not work.
She makes noise but doesn't do anything.
And if there is no spin icon, then how to dry the laundry?
Not enough laundry was put in
Thank you, everything is clear ❤️
The machine washed without spinning, I forgot to turn it up. The cycle is over. How can I squeeze it out now?
