AEG washing machine does not spin

It can be annoying when your AEG washing machine stops spinning, especially if you have a lot of laundry. To ensure that your clothes are as dry as possible before you hang or tumble dry them, use the spin cycle. Without it, laundry takes a lot longer to dry and comes out drenched.

This issue can be caused by a variety of things, from straightforward user error to more significant mechanical problems. You can decide if you need professional assistance or if there is a quick fix by being aware of these possible causes.

The common causes of your AEG washing machine not spinning will be discussed in this article, along with helpful advice on how to fix it.

What happened to the machine?

You should never ignore an issue as serious as the lack of spin. Not only is it time-consuming and challenging to spin the laundry by yourself, but if an issue with the spin is left unattended, it may cause further damage to the machinery and ultimately cause it to malfunction. For this reason, performing contemporary diagnostics and device repair is crucial. We will start by enumerating every possible explanation for the lack of spin in the CM.

• The user selected the washing mode without spin.
• An imbalance in the drum has formed.
• The drain does not work.
• The tachogenerator is broken.
• The electric motor is out of order.
• The drum bearings are worn out.
• The control module of the CM has stopped working.
• A foreign object has gotten into the tank, which interferes with the rotation of the drum.

Most of the time, you can resolve the issue at home on your own, without even needing to consult a professional. It is only when the control board burns out that a technician needs to be called. Attempting to resolve such a malfunction by yourself is very challenging. We will perform device diagnostics, going over each component of the washing machine one by one.

There could be a number of reasons why your AEG washing machine isn’t spinning, including an uneven load, a clogged drain filter, or a broken motor. Finding the source of the issue is essential to fixing it, whether it’s something straightforward like rearranging the laundry or something more complex that needs to be fixed by a pro. Knowing the typical causes of the issue will enable you to troubleshoot more successfully and determine when professional assistance is necessary.

Is the program selected correctly

Prioritizing the most straightforward causes is important since they can be addressed in a matter of minutes without the need for specialized tools. This is because a common user error is usually to blame and there isn’t any damage to the machine. One could have chosen to wash in a mode that doesn’t involve spinning, such as a program designed for wool, silk, or down.

If you have any suspicions about this option, simply locate the official user manual and thoroughly read over the description of the washing mode you chose. This will tell you whether or not it has a spinning feature. Just remember not to choose this work cycle in the future if you need to spin things. It’s also a good idea to see if you unintentionally turned off the spin feature in the program where it comes installed.

To ensure that no extra options are inadvertently connected or disconnected, lock the CM control panel just in case.

The majority of contemporary washing machines let you adjust how many times the drum rotates while it is spinning, and you can even turn off this feature entirely. You must choose a program, the maximum spin speed, and the duration of the cycle for this brief test. You should move on to more inspections if, after this, you start to notice wet items again.

Whether the laundry has gotten into a lump?

The imbalance of the drum is another frequent cause of the lack of spinning on AEG equipment. It is brought on by loading too much laundry for a single work cycle, not loading enough laundry, and distributing the clothes unevenly inside the drum. Older equipment is typically the cause of this issue because the most recent washing machines have a unique feature that regulates the balance.

This is the reason for the malfunction, and it’s very easy to identify it because the "home assistant" will keep trying in vain to spin the drum at the desired speed. As a result, the working cycle will conclude 7–15 minutes earlier than it should, resulting in wet clothes throughout the drum. To correct the situation, adhere to the guidelines.

• Wait until the UBL allows you to open the door of the machine.
• Remove some of the things if there is an overload, or add more if there is not enough, or break up the resulting lump of laundry.
• Close the hatch door.
• Start a separate spin mode.
• After finishing work, check if the things are dry.

Unbalance also affects shock absorbers, bearings, and shaft negatively, which is another issue that needs to be resolved quickly. Remember the laundry load limitations to avoid adding excessive or insufficient items. If your "home assistant" is meant to hold five kilograms, you should never put less than one kilogram in it; if it is meant to hold nine kilograms, the lowest amount that you can put in it is two kilograms.

Is water leaving the machine

The drainage system is most likely the source of the issue if the working cycle is finished and the objects are not only wet but also floating in the water. Most likely, the pump has burned out, the pump impeller is clogged, or there is a blockage in the hoses or pipes preventing the washing machine from emptying the waste water. You must carry out several manipulations in order to identify the issue with accuracy.

• Disconnect the drain hose from the sewer and feel it to make sure there are no blockages. If there are blockages, then the hose must be unscrewed and washed under a powerful stream of hot water.

To ensure that the issue is with the drain sleeve, you must lower the drain hose into the sink or bathtub to inspect the general sewer, which can occasionally become clogged.

• Find the drain hatch located at the bottom of the SM on the right, pry it with a screwdriver and open it. Place any container under it that will fit the waste liquid from the garbage filter. After draining the water, you need to clean the filter with pipes, and you can additionally check the contacts with a multimeter.
• Check the serviceability of the pump, for which you need to clean the impeller from any dirt, rinse the pump body, and also check the resistance with a multimeter.

You should buy new parts right away if the pump and filter are damaged; you cannot even attempt to repair them. Run the quickest work cycle to verify the drain’s functionality after all checks have been made and the components have been replaced. The drainage system is most definitely not the source of the spin cycle’s malfunction if there is no water left in the drum after washing.

It’s critical to investigate both straightforward problems, such as load imbalance, and more complicated ones, such as motor or belt problems, if your AEG washing machine is not spinning. Finding the precise cause can help you avoid more harm and save time.

Whenever possible, begin with simple fixes like adjusting the load or making sure the spin setting is set correctly. If these don’t work, more thorough troubleshooting—like checking the drive belt or motor—might be required.

When do-it-yourself solutions fail, calling in a professional for a more comprehensive assessment may be the best course of action. Prompt action can keep minor problems from developing into expensive repairs.
