Page purpose
Washer faults we diagnose
A washer that will not drain, spin or stay still needs a symptom-specific assessment. This guide focuses on laundry faults, safe first steps, installation access and the information that helps distinguish pump, drive, suspension, latch and control problems.
Not spinning
A door or lid lock, drive belt, motor coupling, sensor, motor or control fault can prevent a spin cycle. Note any error code and whether the drum turns by hand.
Leaking water
Door gaskets, inlet hoses, pumps, dispenser paths and tub connections are common leak points. Turn off the water supply if the leak continues.
Shaking or moving
An unbalanced load, incorrect levelling, worn suspension, shock absorbers or a bearing fault can create excessive movement. Stop using the washer if it bangs against cabinetry.
Not filling
Closed valves, blocked inlet screens, a failed inlet valve, pressure sensor or control fault can interrupt filling. Confirm both supply valves are open.
Door will not open
A retained-water condition, latch fault or control issue can keep a front-load door locked. Do not pry it open; record the display code instead.
Model differences
Washer design changes the diagnostic path
Front-load washers rely on a door lock, horizontal drum support, gasket and drain path that differ from a top-load design. A door leak, retained water or spin problem must be interpreted in the context of that layout.
Top-load machines may use an agitator or impeller, lid lock, suspension rods, belt or direct-drive system. Describing whether the tub fills, agitates, drains and attempts to spin creates a useful sequence for diagnosis.
Compact and stackable laundry equipment can have normal components but difficult access. Send photos of clearances, closet doors and the appliance above or below so the visit can be accepted with realistic handling expectations.
Symptom patterns
Details that make the diagnosis more useful
A short description often names only the symptom. The sequence and conditions behind it usually narrow the fault more effectively. These distinctions help you explain the problem and help us confirm the right service scope.
Fills and drains but will not spin
A load-balance problem, latch, belt, motor coupling, speed sensor or control fault can interrupt spin. Record whether the timer changes, whether the drum tries to move and whether the same result occurs with a small balanced load.
Stops with water in the drum
A blocked filter or hose, weak drain pump, wiring fault or control command can leave water behind. Do not keep selecting another cycle because repeated attempts can overheat a struggling pump.
Leaks only during fill
Inlet hoses, valve connections, the dispenser path or an over-sudsing condition are more likely when water appears early. A leak during drain or spin points to a different set of hoses, pumps and tub connections.
Bangs during high-speed spin
Incorrect levelling, worn suspension, shock absorbers, a loose counterweight or bearing wear can create movement. Stop using the washer if the cabinet walks, strikes a wall or produces metal-on-metal noise.
Clothes remain very wet
The washer may be cancelling spin because it cannot drain, detect a locked door, balance the load or read motor speed. The sequence of events is more useful than simply reporting that the clothes are wet.
Before the appointment
Safe steps and useful information
Close the water valves
If water continues to appear, shut both supply valves and unplug the washer only if the floor and outlet area are dry and safe.
Do not force the door
A locked front-load door may still have water behind it. Forcing the latch can add door and gasket damage to the original fault.
Save the error code
Photograph the full display before turning power off. Include the model label because the same letters can mean different things across brands.
Describe the installation
Tell us if the washer is stacked, under a counter, in a drain pan or behind closet doors. Access determines whether the job can be scheduled safely.
