Washer Not Working - The Most Common Fix

Is your washer not working, spinning, or draining? In this video I show the most common solution to a washer that is not spinning, not draining, or draining really slow. Oftentimes this fix does not even require any tools so most homeowners can easily take care of it themselves.

Absolutely brilliant! I thought I'd have to buy a new integrated machine but all it needed was shown on this video. I'm a 75 year old woman and even I could understand it. Just wonderful! Thankgoodness my sisrer advised me to check out problems via YouTube. Well done the young man in this video. From a grateful pensioner in Dundee, Scotland. xx

Great advice. The repair guy said it is the pump and ordered one. I drained the water out and found all kinds on junk and a rag blocking the drain. Works great again!!! Thanks a million!!!

Spent half a day checking error codes and running diagnostics, cleaned pump filter housing, but did not work, suspected it was a problem With the door lock on our zannussi zwf16070w1,
BUT THEN i i came across your video, I cleaned pump housing as per your instructions, with machine tilted at an angle and drained excess water, and now running again, Thank you so much for the help

[zamazee]

Thanks alot, I did exactly what you demonstrated and my washing machine is working just fine now. You saved me lots of money. Much appreciated. Zama from China.

I did this for the first time due to slow drain. Pulled out coins, lint and a sock. Drains perfectly now. thank you so much!

[johnadeniyi]

Thank you very much @word of advice.
I couldn’t believe it, after doing this, my washing machine that I have abandoned for two months started working!
Amazing!
Thank you again.

You saved the day and probably a new washer! Never even knew it had a filter! Took it out, full of grit, 2 coins, 2 hair bands, one was wrapped around the pump cog, had to pull it out of it! Plenty of towels needed!! Now our washer is working again! Fabulous! Thank you so very much :-))

[jimmywilliam]

My washing machine was just making a buzzing noise and tge drum is not rotating nor the water flowing... cleaned the filter... worked as magic... thanks man

[B-kn]

This worked in our case! My dad couldn't fix it and was sure I would never be able to do it but thanks to you I fixed it easy.

[DarrylPinto-rpyu]

Thanks for recommending this fix. It worked instantly...whereas as a technician would've charged me just to inspect! Thanks again for your help.

[asifrashid]

Thank u so much for solving the problem for thousands of people.
God bless you.

[soniaemmer-robson]

Fixed in 10 seconds after trying everything and scratching my head for ages!!😂 thank you so much.

[laurakidd]

I thought it was utterly broken. I was literally 10 minutes away from calling the mechanic....I did this and now its working perfectly. Thank you so much!!@

Jay --- Also check the drain hose coming out the back of the washer! Mine was filled with some gunk - maybe because the tube had a dip (like a trap) before looping up into the wall hole. It became completely plugged so the point that my drain motor & impeller broke. After cleaning the drain hose (with a dryer lint brush --- that's some irony there!) and some dawn soap, it is now perfectly clear. Bought a new drain motor for $18 on Amazon and replaced it myself. All is good now!

I always wondered what that little door at the bottom was for! It’s our first time with a front load. Of course I had to check the filter, but ours is new enough it didn’t have much (yet)! Great video!

[Ojeramup]

It's 1:00 am but I will try this tomorrow when I wake up. Thanks, I will let you know the outcome.

[eringuexclark]

OKay....okay. I've watched the video, gathered my confidence and I'm going in. Wish me luck!

Anytime my front loader has ever glitched, it is the drain. Once, a child gave me a small shell (I’m a teacher) and I left it in my pocket. The shell had wedged itself in the little blade that pushes the water out. The second time, I made the mistake of being cheap and diluted my liquid soap. I had to drain and reset. My son is an engineer and he always says, “look for the most simplistic thing and work up the ladder and stay calm”. Both times I fixed it myself. The hardest part was moving the washer/ dryer combo out from the wall and cleaning up the water spillage as my front loader gives no clearance between the drain and the floor.
I wish someone would install lockable wheels on these machines- it sure would make life so much easier.

Thank you so much!!! I hate to admit that I was not aware of the filter. My machine was at the point where it would'nt do anything. So, I followed your instructions (and yes it was full), put it all back together again and when I started the washer it was working again!!
