A washer that stops with water in the tub or leaves clothes soaking wet can have several different causes. The most useful first step is to identify exactly where the cycle stops.
Washer will not drain
If water remains in the machine, check whether the drain hose is visibly kinked or crushed. Do not force the machine through repeated cycles if it is leaking or making grinding sounds.
Washer drains but will not spin
A machine that drains normally but will not enter a full spin cycle may have a different mechanical, sensor, door-lock or control problem. Note whether the drum moves at all and whether an error code appears.
Excessive vibration is also a clue
A washer that suddenly shakes, bangs or walks across the floor can be reacting to an unbalanced load, leveling problem or worn internal components. Persistent vibration should be evaluated rather than ignored.
What to provide when scheduling service
Have the brand and model number available if possible. Describe whether the machine fills, drains, spins, locks and displays an error. Those details can make the initial service call more efficient.
