Washer spin when in wash cycle

After a couple of mns after starting a program (full or empty of clothes in the drum) the washer goes into spin and obviously water leaks. The filter is clean and seal at the door isn't broken so i don't think it is a blockage.I had a similar problem 9 months ago with the same machine and engineer told it was a loose tachometer in motor. This was refitted and glued back so not to reoccur but i fear it has. Can i fix myself? How?

    Thanks for your reply. However the issue isn't with any leak but with the machine going into spin very soon after starting a program. When i said it leaks it's because once the cycle has started it fills up with water but then starts spinning with all the water in so it makes water coming back up through the soap draw etc. Not that there is an actual whole somewhere. I have been told the thread is worn on the end of the motor shaft for the tachometer, so it gets loose and cannot control the spin. Seems to be a pricey adventure! Any ideas?

I have a Frigidaire glws1339cs1 model washer . It was seeming to be spinning during wash and rinse cycles throwing water out creating a mess .What I found was it broke a bolt under the agitator that held inner tub to transmission post . After replacing bolt my problem was solved . To check for this problem take and try to turn inner tub clock wise and counter clock wise it should only turn counter clock wise. Then you might have a solution to your problem.

The problem is specifically the motor tacho which consists of a rotating magnet screwed to the motor shaft and a fixed coil around the magnet. the problem can be the magnet unscrewed or the coil fallen out.either way, they can usually be repaired by glue or packing.

I have a frigidaire washer I thought it was spinning during wash cycle but what I found was a broken bolt . It was under the agitator . It held the inner tub to the post off the transmission unit. I replaced the bolt and fixed the problem. The problem was it would throw water out due to what seem to be it was spinning during wash and rinse cycles. Hope this might help some one out there!

Don't buy an Asko - they are overpriced because swedish people want lots of money for very little work. pretty simple really.

Before any proposal can you do following: Golden rule: first use eyes and ears - unplug your washer, and open it; try to detect any water leak trace ; start at water supply, verify also the dispenser, centre of the drum and rubber tube between pump and drum Any cause of water leak must be avoided.If you see the problem in this stage, repair what is wrong and leave the washer some time to dry up. Try again.If you can't see anything particular do following: - switch to spin cycle; switch on current and listen - do you hear the pump ? - sequentially, the drum motor should turn on and start spinning, if this sound normal the tacho is most probably is OK - simultaneaously, try to detect water leaks. Let us know what you heard and/or saw, so we can get closer to the point.- after ending the spin cycle, unplug your washer, and open it; try to detect any water leak trace ; start at water supply, verify also the dispenser, centre of the centrum and rubber tube between pump and drum

Drum is loose during Spin and Rinse cycle and banging against side of washer
If it is under warranty, call Whirlpool at 1-866-698-2538. If it is out of warranty, try running the washer with no clothes in it in spin cycle. If it runs fine empty, it may be that when you had clothes in it they were not balanced evenly in the tub. If it runs off balance when empty, then a spring may have broken or come off. Contact an appliance repairman.

Washer quit the spin cycle
If the machine will not wash or spin, but will still pump the water out, you probably have a broken coupling which connects the motor to the gearbox. This is a simple job for an experienced tech, and should not be expensive...good luck....Nomess

Drum will not spin
Hi,
I am the new owner of a used Asko Cylinda 10504.
The last owner briefly demonstrated the washer starting a wash cycle and entering the agitation cycle of the wash before stopping and pumping the water out and spinning in a final end cycle. I bought it. I had the machine installed turned it on and cannot get it to go through the wash cycle. After starting at #1 it goes through a perpetual spin cycle of sorts--water and soap soaking the drum and laundry but not enough water to fill up half way or less. It stops at number 4 on the program knob sits on a red dot (next to the #4) and does nothing. I then manually move it to the next cycle and it repeats the spin cycle again until I have advanced the program to the end. No wash cycle no rinse cycle. Nothing. When it advances to the red dot I wait for at least 5 minutes before manually advancing the knob. The instructions say that I should get the water pumped out by turning the program knob to #7 or #9 but in both cases it just spins and does no empty or finish in the end spin cycle of several (9?) minutes. Nothing but banging and spinning. The water seems to get into the drum as well as the detergent but nothing else is happening.
No mater where I start the program it spins and sloshes soapy water, pumping almost nothing out.
Any suggestions short of putting it on the curb or paying a kings ransom to fly a tech out to look at it?

MY GUESS.
It seems that it is repeating the same brief cycle over and over. During the move to my house the electronics re set(??!?!?) and now need to be set to the normal mode after being re connected?
Can you help?
Blessings,
Douglas

Washer shakes real bad in spin cycle
Does it do this when the drum is empty?If not, then you may be overloading the unit with clothes. Or, the clothes may have entangled into a ball. Untangle and spread out.

Bosch classixx 1000 washing machine - stops on spin
Washing machine stops at the spin cycle - light flashes. Have to drain water out manually. Happened last week and was then able to run an empty rinse cycle. Machine worked normally for another week. Same problem today but have had to drain water manually from the drum after trying an empty 90 wash and rinse cycle (both stopped on the Spin and flashed). Any ideas? Thanks. x

Can't get washer to finish spin cycle
I'm not familiar with this washer, but if there is water in the drum when it comes to the spin cycle chances are that it won't spin. The likely cause of water left in the drum would be that it is not emptying fast enough, so you might check the pump for a blockage, or if there is a filter check that for some obstruction like fluff, coins, or small items of clothing which can sometimes get drawn through from the drum.

Hi. My Bosch Axxis 2060 does not spin properly in the wash cycle when it is filled with water. It tries to turn, then just stops. The water will then drain out and the high speed spinning will work in the spin cycle. I understand that this may occur when the machine is unbalanced or overloaded. However, it seems to be happening even with small loads. Anything I can do about this?
