Washer won't spin. Washed bath mats (small) and

Hello,

You should just be able to turn on the power and push the "Rinse Drain and spin" button to do an extra Drain and spin OR you should be able to select just the "drain and spin" option with the knob depending on your control panel type.

I hope this helps.

I washed a bath mat and the dryrot from the back came off in the washer. The washer stopped spinning and won't drain now. I checked the hose to see if it was clogged, but appeared to me clear. Sounds like motor is trying to spin but won't move.

My front load washer won't spin fast

Shirley, it may be the drain pump is obstructed or possibly the lid switch is broken. If you washed bath mats or rubber backed rugs recently i would go for the pump. If you washed a semi bulky item with a tendency to float I would go for the switch.
Get me a model number and I can help you with dis-assembly if you'd like further help!

You will have to take the hoses off between the tub and pump, and the pump and weall drain. They are packed with rubber. Oh, don't forget to clean the inside of the pump too. Run clean water through all hoses and the pump before reinstalling and you should be fine. Don't wash rubber backed rugs in washers unless you go to the laundry mat. This should be put in the maintenance guide of your washer book, but I've yet to see it.

it will cause a clogged pump
take off the back wall
you will see the pump
unplug it
ctake off the two hoese( make sure botha re clear)
ensure pump is clean
reinstall and you should be ok

harborstuff,
The code on your machine stands for 'Long Drain'. Ld flashes if it takes longer than 5 minutes to pump out water to a point where the operating pressure switch resets. I would bet that the bath mats left a bunch of stuff stuck in the recirculation pump hose, or pump itself, and the water cannot be drained fast enough. Check the intake and exit hoses of the recirc pump. It's easiest to get to the pump through the front panel of the machine(click here). Looks like this: click here. Hope this helps.
(Definitely get under there and check to make sure the pump hoses are not clogged. At $129 it's an expensive fix for a $10 bath mat that clogged up the hose with fuzz. 'know what I'm sayin'' :o) )

BTW, I have the maintenance manual & have experience at replacing the recirc. pump, control board, motor board, touchpad, & lid switch so far.

Out of balance with wet, heavy rug.

Bathmat is border-line on being excessively heavy (wet)
Do not use in washer. The fact that you got away with it before is your hint NOT to do this again or else bigger problems???

its problably not able to balenbace the load of rugs, if the machine cant balance itwont go to high speed spin. in actuallity your probalby better off bringing the rugs to the laundry mats, especially if the are rubber backed, the rubber backing will come off clogging your pump assy, then your looking at replacing hte pump for a few hundred dollars, for a clean set of $30 bath rugs.

There may be some pieces of mat stuck between the inner and outer drums. The quickest way to remove this is to remove the drain hose that leads from the drum to the pump and feel around the bottom of the outer drum and remove any foreign objects that may be stuck in there.
