You can wash the same items for years then one day for no apparent reason your
washing machine stops working mid cycle – or refuses to complete the final spin
Unbalanced loadOur customers are always concerned about damaging their washing machine by overloading; what causes more damage than overloading your machine is washing just one large heavy item by itself, or one heavy item witha number of light items.Washing just one large heavy item will often cause an unbalance load; if your machine detects an unbalance load it will abort, or, stop working mid cycle - because washing machines are designed to protect themselves from the potential damaged that an unbalanced load would cause.What should you do if your washing machine has stopped working mid cycle?If you have one particular heavy large item that you have decided it would be better to wash separately in your washing machine. Annoyingly, you discover that partway through the wash the machine has stopped working mid cycle – or refuses to complete the final spin.The first thing you should do is change the programme to the drain setting and pump out all the water. Then take the heavy item out and redistribute the item more evenly in the drum; then restart the machine on a rinse and spin setting.If your machine is still refusing to wash or spin the heavy item, the only thing you can do is add additional items in an attempt to rebalance the drum more evenly.
How do washing machines protect themselves?
Modern washing machines nowadays, use balance protection software to monitor the strain on the motor throughthe power it uses. If a wash load is evenly distributed around the drum, the motor will run evenly as it turns requiringa regular amount of power.If one side of the drum is heavier than the other side, the motor will run unevenly as it encountered greater resistance when it turns the heaver side of the drum. If the balance protection software detects an unbalance load, it willnormally abort the wash cycle to protect the machine from potential damaged.You will seriously damage and shorten the life of your machine, if you keep trying to wash unbalanced loadsIf the machines balance protection software doesn't abort the spin cycle and your machine dose somehow manages tospin an unbalanced load – apart from damaging the Inner drum and drum bearings, unbalanced loads can also short circuit the Motor and the Control module.The classic items that can cause an unbalanced load are: Towels,Bath mats, Bedding, Duvets, and Jeans.
