you are mixing your wash loads hence the fluff balls or your are using the wrong programme

You problem may a simple leveling issue. Check your machine front to back and side to side to ensure it properly level. Also, most top-loaders have "self-leveling" feet on the rear legs. If you walk up to your washer and it looks like the back is sitting lower than the front, you may only have to follow a few simple steps to re-level it. If your machine is equipped with this type of leveling system all you have to do is to lift the rear legs of the floor about two-inches by rocking the machine (empty of water, of course) towards you: 1. Lift the lid. 2. Place one hand under the rim of the front casing (not the wash tub). 3. Place your foot at the center of the front base to keep it from sliding. 4. Pull towards you to lift the back feet off the floor. 5. You should hear clicking noises as the feet re-level. 6. Slowly lower machine back to the floor. This should take care of most leveling problems that cause your machine to vibrate and shake during the spin cycle. These legs periodically become unlevel due to vibration and need to checked from time to time. I hope this may help you.

I put this answer in the comments but re-posting here because I didn't know what I was doing : ) The Magic Chef 2.1 cu ft Portable washer manual says that its a door malfunction and the solution is to open and close the door. That did not work for me so if you're having the same issue that I am it may be that your washer is not level. I had placed mine on top of a few folded throw rugs to stifle noise (I live in an apt, on the second floor) and the rugs were uneven. As soon as i adjusted them, the washer began to work again. I hope this helps.

Check the lid switch assembly: If the lid switch assembly is defective, the washer will not spin. To test the lid switch for continuity, use a multimeter. If the lid switch does not have continuity, replace it. Inspect the drive belt: If the drive belt is broken or loose, the washer will not spin. Inspect the drive belt for signs of wear or damage. If the belt is damaged, replace it. Examine the motor coupling: The motor coupling connects the motor to the transmission. If it is broken, the washer will not spin. Inspect the motor coupling for signs of wear or damage. If it is damaged, replace it. Check the clutch assembly: The clutch assembly engages and disengages the transmission with the tub during the spin cycle. If it is worn or damaged, it may prevent the washer from spinning. Inspect the clutch assembly for signs of wear or damage and replace it if necessary. If these troubleshooting steps do not lead to resolution, you may have to resort to a professional repair service.

E4 indicates the washer failed to drain out after 4 minutes, after that time the code is set. Check and clean the drain filter first.

Unplug your machine again. Remove items from washer ringing out items as you do so. I am thinking that your machine has jammed up at the bottom of agitator, and nothing can move because of this. Now if you don't have an agitator then you may have a reset button somewhere on machine. Good Luck Friend.
