If you have a washing machine, chances are you have appreciated all its benefits long ago. Modern housewives have long forgotten what it means to wash, rinse and wring out clothes by hand.
Nevertheless, even the best and high-quality washing machine is still a technique that tends to break. Quite often, a situation arises when the washing machine suddenly stops during the washing process, does not rinse and does not wring out the laundry. Why is this happening and how to eliminate the trouble? Let's take a look at the most common reasons.
The washing machine does not rinse the laundry well
If the washing machine does not rinse the laundry or does it badly, there may be several reasons for this, from the most simple and commonplace to complex and unpleasant. Here are some situations when the reason lies not at all in the breakdown of the unit:
Overload. If you have loaded too much laundry into the machine, the laundry detergent has little space and it does not dissolve well. It clogs in the folds of clothes and does not contact well with water.
Large amount of powder. Sometimes white stains remain on the laundry because the amount of powder is much higher than the volume of water for rinsing. To eliminate the trouble, it is enough to run an additional cycle several times.
Low water pressure. Insufficient pressure is for two reasons:
- malfunctions in the entire plumbing;
- clogged hose supplying water to the unit.
In the first case, you can’t do anything, you just have to wait until the situation improves. In the second, you need to clean the supply pipe and the filter mesh installed at the entrance to the system, the rinsing program will start again.
If none of the above has been confirmed, most likely the cause of the trouble lies in the breakdown of the washing machine itself.

The washing machine “hung” and does not go into rinse mode
The situation looks something like this: the washing machine starts up in normal mode, washes for a while, but as soon as it comes to rinsing, the program for some reason stops and goes into standby mode. First you need to find out what exactly your assistant does not want to do: rinse, squeeze or pump out water.
First of all, you need to reset the current settings, select the "drain" mode and start the washer again. If nothing happens, examine the integrity of the drain hose. It is likely that it just twisted or was pinched by something heavy. Therefore the washing machine does not spin the laundry.Is the hose ok? See if there is clogging in the sewer pipe. To do this, carefully detach the drain pipe and lower it into the bath or sink. If the "drain" program has worked, then the matter is in plumbing.
Tip:
After all the manipulations done, everything remains as before and the washing machine does not rinse or wring the laundry? So, everything is bad - the problem is in the car.
The washing machine does not rinse or wring.
Before you start troubleshooting, you must disconnect the machine. Be sure to unplug the plug, it is very important! Now it is necessary to forcibly release the unit from water. This can be done through the drain filter. It is located at the bottom of the machine, behind a small panel. Now take out the laundry, you will have to rinse it and squeeze it by hand. Everything is ready, we begin troubleshooting.
Blockage in pump, drain filter or nozzle
This is the most common answer to the question why the washing machine does not go into rinse mode or does not press the laundry well. A lot of garbage remains in the dirty water that the machine drains after washing. Sand, dust, dirt, hair, threads and small spools and villi. Sometimes the contents of pockets are added to all this. The garbage clogs the drainage system and the water simply has nowhere to go. In order for rinsing to resume, you need to clean the drain and filler filter.
Broken water level sensor
In the washing machine there is such a device - a pressure switch. It determines the water level in the unit tank. Depending on the data received from this device, the control board commands the washing process. If a water level sensor broken, the washer just "does not understand" what she should do and stops.
The drain pump has deteriorated
This is another reason why the rinse mode does not work, or the washing machine does not wring things out. The drain pump does not pump water after washing and the washing machine does not rinse the laundry. The cause of the damage may be getting into drain pump different items or just a long life.
If all hoses, filters and tubes are cleaned, the drain works as expected, and still the washing machine does not switch the rinse mode, there are a couple more reasons.
Burned out TEN
If the heating element burns out, the water simply does not heat up to the set temperature. This becomes the reason that the process stops at the washing stage, and the rinse mode simply does not have time to start. If, by setting the washing mode, you set the temperature to more than 30 ° C, just touch the glass. Is it really cold? Means defective heater and it needs to be replaced.
Burned out control module
In other words - in the washing machine it fell into disrepair control board. Without this detail, the machine stops receiving and receiving commands, which means that the rinse mode will not turn on.
