Washer spin but water do not stay in drum

My washer spin if I put in on FINAL SPIN cycle. However, if I start the cycle at the beggining, water just keep going in and straight out the drain so the cycle never started. Is my drain motor broken????

    Sorry I don't get it. The pump/drain is at the bottom of the machine already. I did get a technician looked at it and he said the drain motor is broken and need to be replace. I checked and the part cost $180. Is there a way to really check to make sure the drain motor is really broken or it just has something stuck? Thanks.

Hi,

Sounds like your drain is laying on the floor, or your stand pipe is too low, or the drain hose is too far down in the stand pipe. The drain must be at least as hi as your water level in the machine at it's fullest level, otherwise it will just siphons out almost as quickly as it fills.

Hope that helps,

Good Luck.

    Hi,

    I am speaking of the "drain hose". It has to be in the drain stand pipe, but not shoved down into the pipe, otherwise the water syphons out. You said the water fills but empties before it washes. That doesn't sound like a faulty pump to me. But like you said, If you've had a tech. On site, then I'm at a disadvantage. Get them to chamge the pump if they think it's the pump. I can only diagnos in general or common solutions based on the info given, or how I interpret the info provided.

    Hope that clears it up for you,

    good luck :)

Bath mat will not spin dry even if I put it on several spin settings .all other clothes spin dry.why?

One heavy piece like that will not allow the washer drum to come up to top speed when for its final spin at the end of the cycle.
Next time, instead of endless drying, put it back for a final spin in the washer with a couple of towels so that the water can be extracted properly.

Hotpoint WMA50 won't final spin, and water stays in drum

Running with a restricted water supply probably took out the pump.
The stator requires a steady water supply for cooling and lubrication. Without this accelerated wear between the stator & magnetic poles occurs.
This additional clearance makes the magnetism insufficient to spun the impellor.

Washer squeals in rinse or spin

When the washer is in the final spin cycle and starts to sqeal, just pour a little water through the drawer about half of a glass full usually does the trick. What apparantly happens is that the connection/seal between the big grey rubber seal and the stainless steel drum has dried out due to the centrifugal effect of the spin cycle and it needs to be wetted to keep the sealed area lubricated and cool. The squealing is a result of the dry rubbing of these parts during the spin cycle.

Washer does not remove water in final spin

If washer hums when it should spin, and the washer will not drain, you may have 2 issues.
First check that the drain pump, drain hose, and wall drain are free of debris.
The washer may not spin properly if the drain system is not operable.
Once you are sure the washer drain pump, drain lines, wall drain, and drain hose is okay, run a test wash.
If the washer hums but now drains, you fixed one issue.
If the washer still hums, you may have a bad belt, motor coupler, motor itself, etc...
Check parts for wear and replace as necessary.I pulled the drain impeller and found a sock from my little guy stuck in there. Fixed!
check all water outlets to make sure there is nothing blocking the pipes.

GE Adora front load washer overloaded now won't start

Washers - Resetting Electronic Controls on a Washer

If there is a pause in the washer cycle, the controls will lock up. The pause can occur because of a power failure or it was put in the test mode at the factory.

Also, if the washer was stopped before the cycle was complete or the consumer has pushed the stop/pause button to temporarily stop the cycle and the cycle is not reset. Over a period of 24 hours, the washer will pump out and spin, but will stay in the final spin.

To correct the situation, shut off the circuit breaker for 30 seconds or unplug the washer, then turn the timer knob around and back to any position other than final spin. Verify the water is turned on and restore power. This should resolve the issue.
