LG Washing Machine Spin Is Not Working — Solved
Do the following if your LG washing machine spin is not working…
Step 1. Turn off your washing machine’s power supply.
Step 2. Open the door of your washing machine.
Step 3. Check the quantity of clothes in your washer. Ensure that the drum hasn’t been filled more than 3/4. If your washing machine’s drum is overloaded, it won’t be able to spin properly.
Step 4. Ensure that your washing machine is sitting on a firm, even surface. If your washing machine is tilted at an angle, the weight of the clothes will be mostly on one side of the drum. This will make it difficult for your washing machine to spin properly.
Step 5. Check the washing machine’s legs to ensure that they are level. If needed, use the provided spanner in your installation kit to adjust the legs.
Step 6. Distribute the clothes evenly in the washing machine’s drum.
Step 7. Close the door of your washing machine.
Step 8. Turn on your washing machine’s power supply.
Step 9. Try resuming the spin cycle to see if the issue has been resolved.
Note: The most common thing that causes your washer not to spin is an unbalanced load. Click here to learn how to fix this.
