Guides for a washing machine that is not draining, not spinning or not filling with water, leaking from underneath, making a noise when spinning, or has a door that will not open.
Why Is My Washing Machine Not Draining?
A washing machine usually stops draining because the drain hose is kinked, the pump filter is blocked or the waste pipe is blocked. You can check all three after draining the machine by hand.
Why Is My Washing Machine Not Spinning?
A washing machine usually stops spinning because the load is unbalanced, water is still in the drum, or the lid switch or door interlock is not closing. You can check those three.
Why Is My Washing Machine Not Filling With Water?
A washing machine usually stops filling because the supply is off or weak, the tap is closed, the inlet hose is kinked or the filter screen is blocked. You can check all four.
Why Will My Washing Machine Door Not Open?
A front loader keeps its door locked until the cycle has finished, the water has drained and the lock has had time to release. Wait a few minutes after the cycle ends.
Why Is My Washing Machine Leaking From Underneath?
A washing machine leaking from underneath most often has a loose inlet hose, a blocked detergent drawer, an unsealed pump filter or a dirty door seal. You can check all of these.
Why Is My Washing Machine Making a Noise When Spinning?
A banging noise when spinning usually means an unbalanced load, a machine that is not level or transit bolts left in. You can check those.
