The spin cycle in an Indesit brand washing machine may unexpectedly fail, and the machine will continue to unhinderedly drain and take in water, wash off powder, wash, and rinse efficiently. But as soon as the program reaches the spin cycle, the machine will freeze and stop showing signs of operation. Is the symptom we describe familiar to you? This means this article is for you, read the information presented in it very carefully.
The spin cycle in the Indesit washing machine does not work? Start looking for the cause of the problem with the simplest thing - a user error. Please understand correctly, we are not trying to hint that you are using your washing machine incorrectly, we are just working on possible versions. But in life you know, anything can happen. We will talk more about user errors in the next paragraph, but for now we will list the most common breakdowns that prevent the Indesit washing machine from spinning clothes.
If, in addition to spinning, your Indesit washing machine does not drain the water, the list of potential breakdowns expands. We already have a publication on this topic called C Indesit washing machine does not drain water and does not spin . It describes another aspect of the problem, which we will not dwell on in this article; if you are interested, read it, and we will move on.
If the Indesit washing machine does not want to start spinning, freezes, and the laundry is wet when it comes out, then you need to first check whether you yourself have made a mistake. What is it about? Some programs included in the Indesit washing machine's arsenal do not require spinning. These are special modes for washing shoes, delicate items, outerwear, and other things. If the home assistant does not have a display that would display information about the selected mode, then it is easy to make a mistake by choosing a stripped-down mode instead of some full-fledged one.
If you are sure that the program you have chosen involves spinning, check whether it is forcibly disabled. The fact is that some models of Indesit washing machines have a spin shut-off button, which has an old spring mechanism. This means that if the button mechanism is depressed, then it turns off and the spin works, but if you pressed the button and forgot to turn it off, the spin block will occur even after turning off the washing machine in all subsequent washes, until the button is deactivated.
Also, quite often the Indesit washing machine does not spin due to the laundry being incorrectly placed in the drum or simply due to the drum being overloaded. This problem is far from isolated, so we remind you once again - the drum should be loaded enough, but not overloaded, the laundry should not be folded into it in a lump, but distributed evenly and then no problems with imbalance will arise.
Why doesn’t the Indesit brand home assistant wring out? It is very possible that there is a breakdown and one of the washing machine modules requires repair or replacement. But it’s not so easy to determine exactly what is broken; we’ll have to check all the suspects one by one until we come across the culprit of the problem and we’ll start with the drive belt.
You may ask, what does the drive belt have to do with it, how is it related to the presence or absence of spin? In fact, the connection is direct. If the drive belt does not ensure stable transmission of engine speed to the drum pulley, this leads to the fact that the drum does not accelerate to the speed specified by the program, and this leads to only one thing - the program freezes and the spin cycle is suspended. How to check the belt?
Changing the belt is easy. First, we remove the old belt; to do this, grab the drum pulley with one hand, and the belt with the other, and twist the pulley - the belt will come off right away. We first pull the new belt onto the large pulley with its edge, and then onto the small one. We hold the strap with one hand, and with the other we turn the pulley, tightening it.
The tachometer, a small gimmick that looks like a ring with wiring, can also play a cruel joke on us. It is installed on the engine, and in fact it is very important, because thanks to the tachometer, the control module learns about the speed of the running engine. If the tachometer starts to mope or even burns out, it will turn out in the most unpredictable way. The machine may stop washing altogether, or it may simply refuse to work at high speeds, that is, to spin the laundry. Let's check the tachometer.
Further depending on the result of the check. If the tachometer is working, we leave it alone and check the next part, and if it is faulty, we replace it, since the Hall sensor cannot be repaired.
We removed the engine, which means it’s not a sin to check it, especially since it’s also on our list of suspects. Unscrew the small bolts that hold the graphite brushes. Let's take out these brushes. It is not difficult to check them; if they have become clearly shorter, it means that the production has reached a critical level, and the brushes need to be changed.
Next, you need to check whether the motor winding has been punctured. This happens infrequently, but it cannot be ruled out. With a broken winding, the engine does not work at all or works poorly. In such a situation, the best option would be to replace the motor with a new one, since rewinding is very expensive. The winding is also checked using a multimeter; one of its probes is installed on the winding core, and the other on the housing. You have to check all the wires, otherwise such a test will be of very little use.
Well, we checked the engine, everything turned out to be fine with it too. There is only one thing left to do - check the control module. It is better to entrust the electronic part of the Indesit washing machine to a professional. Take my word for it, checking and repairing an electronic board on your own will not lead to anything good, why do you need the extra costs of purchasing and reprogramming a new module?
In conclusion, we note that if the spin cycle in the Indesit washing machine does not work, then this is not at all a reason to panic. Of course, you can immediately contact a specialist, and this will be correct, but you can try to find and eliminate the reason for this behaviour of the washer yourself. If you are a DIY fan with an inquisitive mind, this article will come in handy, good luck!
