Common issues with washing machines can range from operational disruptions to physical damage, affecting their efficiency and longevity. Notable problems SENGIX Team will be happy to fix for you include:

  • Operational Issues: 
  • Washer won’t spin: This can happen due to an overloaded machine, an unbalanced load, or issues with the lid switch, drive belt, or motor coupler. It might also indicate a malfunction in the washer’s control system.
  • Washing machine fills slowly: A slow fill could be due to clogged inlet screens on the water hoses, low water pressure in your home, or malfunctioning water inlet valves.
  • Washer won’t fill with water: This might be because of closed water supply valves, clogged filters or hoses, or faulty water inlet valves. It could also be an issue with the washer’s pressure switch or electronic control.
  • Washer overflowing: This is often caused by a malfunctioning water level pressure switch or a problem with the water inlet valve, which controls the flow of water into the washer.
  • Washer stops mid cycle: This issue might be caused by a power surge, an overloaded washer, or problems with the washer’s timer, thermal fuse, or water supply (if the machine halts during filling or rinsing).
  • Washer won’t agitate: Problems with the agitator can stem from a stripped or damaged drive belt, a worn agitator clutch or coupler, or issues with the motor or transmission.
  • Washer showing error codes: Modern washers display error codes to indicate specific problems. These can range from simple issues like imbalanced loads to more complex problems like sensor or board malfunctions. Refer to the washer’s manual to decode and address these error codes.
  • Washer won’t start: This could be due to a power issue, a faulty start switch, a malfunctioning door latch (particularly in front-loading washers), or issues with the washer’s timer or electronic control board.
  • Washer leaking: Leaks can occur from many places, including loose hose connections, worn-out door seals (in front-load washers), or damaged tub bearings. Overusing detergent or using the wrong type can also cause excessive suds that lead to leaks.
  • Front Load Washer Not Draining: This issue often occurs due to a clogged drain pump filter, which is common in front load washers. Small items like coins, hairpins, or lint can block the filter, preventing water from draining out. Another cause can be a blockage in the drain hose or an issue with the drain pump itself, such as a malfunction or electrical fault.
  • Top Load Washer Not Draining: Similar to front load washers, top load washers can experience drainage problems due to clogged drain hoses or pump filters. A kinked drain hose can also prevent water from flowing out. Additionally, issues with the lid switch assembly, which ensures the lid is closed during operation, can prevent top load washers from draining, as the washer won’t perform certain functions if it thinks the lid is open.
  • Washing Machine Squeaking: This noise often indicates a problem with the washer’s belts or pulleys. Over time, these parts can become worn or misaligned, leading to a squeaking sound. In some cases, it might also be due to insufficient lubrication on moving parts.
  • Washing Machine Clunking: A clunking sound can be caused by foreign objects trapped between the drum and the outer tub, such as coins or small items. It can also occur if the washer is not level, causing it to move or “walk” during operation, or if there’s an issue with the drum’s support system, like worn bearings or suspension components.
  • Washer Making a Loud Noise: Loud noises from a washer can be due to a variety of issues, including a malfunctioning drain pump, objects caught in the drum, damaged bearings, or a faulty motor coupling. It can also occur if the washer is overloaded or imbalanced, causing excessive strain on mechanical components.
  • Noise During Cycle Shifts: Noise during transitions between washing cycles can indicate an issue with the washer’s transmission or with the clutch assembly in some models. It might also be related to the normal operation of solenoids or valves that control water flow and drum movement, especially if the noise is more of a click or a hum rather than a loud noise or vibration.
  • Washer Vibration: Excessive vibration is often due to an unbalanced load within the drum. It can also occur if the washing machine itself is not level on the floor, leading to uneven distribution of force during operation. In some cases, worn-out shock absorbers or suspension rods, which are designed to stabilize the drum, can also cause significant vibration.
  • Washer Out of Balance: An out-of-balance washer is typically caused by unevenly distributed laundry inside the drum. Bulky items or washing a large item by itself can throw the drum off balance. Additionally, if the washing machine is not sitting level on the ground, it can also lead to balance issues, causing the machine to rock or move during cycles.
  • Washer Grinding: A grinding noise usually indicates a problem with the washer’s motor or the bearings. In front-load washers, it could be due to worn-out bearings in the drum, creating a grinding or groaning sound as it spins. In top-load washers, it might be related to the gearbox or the motor coupling, especially if the components are worn out or damaged.
  • Washer Smells Bad: This is often due to the buildup of mold, mildew, and bacteria inside the washer, especially in areas that remain damp, like the drum, detergent dispenser, and door gasket. Regularly leaving the washer door closed can exacerbate this issue by trapping moisture inside, creating an ideal environment for odor-causing microbes to thrive.
  • Washer Door Gasket Mold: Mold in the door gasket is common in front-load washers where the rubber seal traps moisture after cycles, providing a perfect habitat for mold and mildew. This problem is exacerbated by residues from detergent and fabric softeners, as well as by not drying the gasket and leaving the door closed between uses.
  • Washer Emit Burning Smell: A burning smell from a washer can indicate a serious problem, such as a malfunctioning motor, overheating pump, or electrical issue. Friction from a worn drive belt can also produce a burning rubber smell. If electrical components or wiring are overheating, it might result in a more acute, electrical burning smell. This requires immediate attention to prevent potential fire hazards.
  • Door Boot Leaks Water: The door boot, also known as the door seal, in front-load washers can start leaking water if it’s damaged, has a hole, or is not seated properly. Wear and tear over time or accidental punctures can compromise the seal’s integrity, allowing water to escape during cycles.
  • Washer Door or Lid Won’t Lock: This can occur due to a malfunction in the locking mechanism, which might be electrical (in the case of a door lock solenoid or switch) or mechanical. It could also be due to obstructions or damages to the door or lid itself that prevent it from closing fully, or issues with the control system not sending the signal to lock the door.
  • Washer Door Seal Broken: Over time, the door seal on a washer can become brittle, crack, or tear due to frequent exposure to water, chemicals from detergents, and physical stress from loading and unloading laundry. A broken seal will not only potentially leak water but also fail to maintain an airtight and watertight seal during operation.
  • Clothing has white residue after washing: This issue often occurs due to the overuse of detergent or non-dissolved powder detergent, especially in cold water cycles. It can also result from the buildup of fabric softener or hard water minerals in the clothes.
  • Washing machines have temperature problems: If the washing machine is not reaching the set temperatures, it could be due to a malfunctioning heating element (in models that have one), incorrect settings, or issues with the temperature control system. Faulty water inlet valves that do not properly mix hot and cold water can also cause temperature inconsistencies.
  • Clothes not being washed completely: This can happen if the washer is overloaded, preventing clothes from moving freely and getting cleaned properly. It might also be due to using too little detergent, selecting incorrect wash cycles for the type of laundry, or a malfunction in the washer’s agitator or wash plate.
  • Cycles don’t switch or switch too fast: Problems with cycle progression can be attributed to issues with the washer’s timer or electronic control board, which govern the transition between cycles. If cycles switch too fast, it might indicate a fault in the sensors or the control system that incorrectly interprets the completion of a cycle stage.
  • Washer stops working and door locked: This typically happens as a safety measure when the washer detects an issue mid-cycle, such as a power outage, a fault in the door lock mechanism, or a problem with the control board. It can also occur if the washer hasn’t drained properly, prompting the machine to keep the door locked to prevent water spillage.
  • Clothing Damage: Damage to clothing can be caused by overloading, selecting too high a spin speed for delicate fabrics, the presence of zippers and buttons that snag other items, harsh detergents, or using incorrect wash settings for the fabric type.
  • Detergent Dispensing Issues: Problems with detergent dispensing can stem from clogged dispenser trays, using the wrong type of detergent, or issues with the washer’s water flow that prevent proper mixing and dispensing of the detergent.

Addressing these common issues promptly can enhance the performance and extend the lifespan of your washing machine. 

NOTE: Only professionally trained, licensed specialists will be able to correctly determine the cause of the breakdown and safely fix it for you.

  • Water Pump: The water pump is used to circulate and drain water from the washer. 
  • Agitator Dogs (Top Load Washers): These small components are found within the agitator and are responsible for the agitator’s movement.
  • Door Seal or Gasket (Front Load Washers): The door seal ensures a water-tight seal around the door to prevent leaks. 
  • Drain Hose, Tube and Fitting: These components carry water out of the machine into the drain. 
  • Washing Machine Belts and Pulleys: The belt connects the motor to the drum, allowing it to spin. 
  • Lid Switch/Latch, Door Lock: These safety devices ensure the washer door or lid is securely closed during operation.
  • Water Inlet Valve: This valve controls the flow of hot and cold water into the washer.
  • Fuses: Fuses protect the washer’s electrical circuits.
  • Thermostats: Thermostats regulate the temperature of the water and the dryer’s air in washer-dryer combos.
  • Sensors like Hall and Position: These sensors help in monitoring the washer’s operational status, such as drum speed, position, and water level.
  • Control Board and Timer: These components are integral to the washer’s operation, controlling all its functions and cycles. 
  • Shock Absorbers/Dampers (Front Load Washers): Shock absorbers or dampers minimize tub movement during spin cycles, reducing vibration and noise.
  • Drum and Tub: The drum is where clothes are placed for washing, and the tub holds the water. 
  • Bearings and Tub Seal: Bearings allow the drum to spin smoothly, and the tub seal prevents water leakage around the drum.
  • Knob and Button: These are the manual controls used to select and start washing cycles. 
  • Motor: The motor drives the drum or agitator, providing the necessary motion for washing clothes.
  • Transmission: In some top-load washers, the transmission converts the motor’s rotary motion into the agitator’s back-and-forth movement. 
  • Suspension: The suspension system, including springs or rods, helps absorb vibrations and stabilize the washer drum during operation.

Why doesn’t the detergent dissolve properly?

Using excessive detergent, the incorrect type for your machine, or not adjusting detergent usage for cold water washes can cause this issue. Call in the SENGIX company to specify the make and model washer and we will be able to give you more accurate advice.

Why do clothes have a bad odor after washing in the washing machine?

To combat odor-causing bacteria from moisture in the washing machine, leave the door open post-wash for drying, clean the drum and door seal regularly with detergent or vinegar, and run a hot cycle periodically. Remove laundry immediately and measure detergent accurately to prevent residue.

Why are my clothes still wet after spinning?

Wet clothes post-spin may result from overloading the washer, an uneven load disrupting spin balance, or blockages in the drain system. Incorrect spin cycle choices and issues with key parts like the motor or belt also hinder effective water removal. Optimal load sizing, balanced distribution, and routine checks for obstructions or mechanical faults enhance spin effectiveness. If the problem cannot be solved on your own, Call Us and we will help.
