Hi.
There
are several things to check. First of all check if it drains before
spinning. If machine drains OK, skip to check the pressure switch, the
motor control unit and control.
Most common problems resulting in no spin are caused by drain system.
Check
the position of the drain hose. Ensure that the height is as specified
by the manual or you get siphoning and drain does not end.
Access
the drain filter. With most front loaders this located in front at the base, there
should be a trim or an access panel.
The machine has a pressure
switch. It is a sensor connected to a long thin rubber hose. The
pressure switch is often in control assembly. Clean the hose and the
switch. One way to test it is by blowing into the switch, but
manufacturers say this must not be done.
The pressure switch is difficult to test in full.
Most machines have a tech sheet tucked inside the control panel assembly. You take off
panel that is held by a couple of screws and see if there is the
envelope with the sheet.
The rest of testing is more complex
because concerns motor and motor control unit. The motor control unit is
a module located inside the machine. Testing of this parts is done
reading voltages and Ohms at the motor and at control units contacts. This must be done by a
technician.
Here a page on no spin problem.
Start checking drain hose and drain filter. The drain filter access is located behind the door at the front bottom side of the machine.
