Why does the washing machine does not rinse and what to do?
Rinsing is one of the most important functions of washing machines. Without it, we would have to rinse our own heavy, wet laundry in the bathtub, and then spin it as well. That is why the advent of automatic washing machines, which perform the entire cycle of laundry, up to drying, became a real salvation for housewives, because it removed from their shoulders a large share of household work.
However, the washing machine is still a technique that tends to malfunction. If the device refuses to do its job, then there was a breakdown, which must be repaired immediately, otherwise you will have to do the washing yourself.
About why the washing machine stops rinsing the laundry, and how to solve this problem, read below.
The Reasons
If the washing machine suddenly "hangs" near the end of washing - the drum stops rotating, and the water remains inside, but the washing program does not end, most likely, the problem is related to the rinse mode. There can be two main reasons for this. Let us tell in detail about each case.
No rinse and no spin
If when starting the drain or spin mode, the water still remains in the drum, the problem is most likely not in the control unit, but in the drain system. This is not the worst case scenario, as it is much easier to clean the clog formed than to fix the electronic module.
First of all, it is necessary to check the hose, the pump, the filter and all other parts through which water is drained. Check them for damage, clogs or foreign objects.
If all these elements are in order, we recommend that you also test the water level sensor. In case of malfunction, it may signal that the tank is empty, when in fact there is water in it. This is the reason why the rinse mode does not start.
Does not rinse, but spins
If the modes of draining and spinning work properly, but the washing machine does not want to rinse the laundry, you should look for the cause directly in the machine. Most often, this problem is associated with a failure of the control module or the heating element.
In the first case, without special knowledge in the field of electronics, you can hardly do anything. It will be more appropriate to give the machine for repair, so that the block is reflashed or replaced with a new one. If it is a problem with the heating element, you need to diagnose it. It is quite possible to do it yourself, read more in the article "How to check the heating element of the washing machine?" or watch in the video below.
Prevention
To ensure that after washing the laundry is always perfectly clean and fresh, without streaks from the powder and conditioner, you need to constantly ensure that the system of rinsing and draining works properly.
- Use only quality laundry detergents that quickly dissolve in water and easily rinse out. If you notice that after washing the powder remains on the things or in the tray, try to change the detergent.
- Always follow the instructions of the machine exactly: do not overload the drum and choose the appropriate washing programs for the items.
