Spins but not draining

Might now be spinning fast enough for the centrifugal force to expel the water. check the drum speed as well as the pump that removes the water collected.

Low buzzing noise, drum won't spin. If I push the drum by hand, it starts and runs fine. Capacitor or motor maybe?

The start winding may be open. The centrifugal switch contacts may need cleaning or replacement. The start capacitor may be bad. The start switch contacts may need to be cleaned or replaced.

On the spin cycle my samsung front load washer wibbles and vibrates badly. I have replaced the shocks but that didn't work. What else could it be?

Check that it is level and that all the water is draining out when the wash cycle is complete. Check that the wash drum and all associated parts are correctly in place and are secure. Check the drum for excessive play, replace defective parts.
Also look for loose objects from clothing that may be jammed out of site but causing centrifugal throwout vibration.

8 year old dryer. drum not spinning to tumble the clothes. checked and the belt is ok? What is the next thing to troubleshoot?

Hi,

Check that the motor is turning. If not turning, is it humming? If humming, then the problem is likely start winding or centrifugal switch failure. Try lubricating centrifugal switch if stuck. If that does not work, replace motor. Be sure to disconnect dryer before working on it. Centrifugal switch assembly is located in the motor frame on the shaft.

I have a wma 10 which is a couple of years old. The door seal now leaks when the machine goes onto a spin? Is there anything that you can suggest?

Sounds like there is too much water left in the drum as it goes into the spin cycle, and the centrifugal force of the drum spinning is forcing the wate past the door seal probably, needs the filter cleaning, or the door seal itself may require replacing.

Our DLG0452W dryer will not start occasionally, I then open the door and push in the door switch and rotate the drum and quickly close the door and 1 out 4 times it will keep running. Next time it may be...

The problem is with the centrifugal switch on the dryer motor. This switch connects the start winding of the motor which provides additional torque at startup. Once the dryer is up to speed, the switch disconnects the start winding. If it malfunctions, the dryer will not turn and the motor will hum. By spinning the drum, you are providing enough torque for the start winding to be able to take over and bring the dryer up to speed.

You may be able to correct this by simply lubricating the centrifugal switch which may be sticking. I am not sure if the centrifugal switch is replacable, or if a new motor is necessary if lubricating does not solve your problem.

WATER WILL NOT DRAIN OUT OF THE BARREL DURING SPIN

Hi,
I'm not sure of your model, but most are the same design. The water is pumped in, but centrifugal force through the spin should force it out. If I am understanding you correctly in that your drum is spinning (I assume slowly if full of water). It is likely you have a clog in your drain hose area. If the drum is not really spinning, check for a "click" when you open, then close the lid. A switch could keep the drum from spinning.
I hope this helps... Good luck!

Sounds like you have some sort of obstruction in the drum, and this is stopping it draining, thereby when it goes into spin the water is being forced out of the dispenser by centrifugal force.
Try turning the drum by hand, and if you feel a lot of resistance, then you have got something stuck in the drum.
Please rate this comment.
thanks.

Drum has come loose

The drum must reach full speed when spinning, otherwise it bangs about everywhere, centrifugal force keeps it up-right like a gyro, the machine is not getting upto speed, try replacing the drive belt.
tilt the machine backwards for access to the belt below the machine, simply pull off and replace wih new by easing the new belt onto the pulleys.

Ours did this when the motor brushes wore out. It's a relatively easy fix. The symptom would be that the machine appears to cycle normally, goes through all the normal functions, but just never rotates. I think these brushes wear out faster because of the reversing action. you can access the motor from the rear panel, and there are 2 bolts which hold it in place. Remove the belt, take the bolts out, unplug the connections and pull the motor towards you. Locate the retainers for the brushes and pull them out and check to see if they are worn down.

This is not something that is easy to fix. The front load machines use a DC motor. If the drum works when it washes and it does not spin, the issue could be the motor controller.
