Hi... I have a F+P GW612 Machine. When it gets to the spin cycle there's a humming noise, the Drum try's to turn but only pulses 5 mm one direction then the other, as if its stuck, then i get a burning smell. I've checked the pump already and its not jammed. Any idea's? Thanks

SOURCE: Stuck on spin

With all do respect to Parky16, I'm not sure you know what a Fisher & Paykel unit is.

It sounds like you have a drain pump problem. You will need to get the water out. With a shop vac or something. Tilt the unit back on a milk crate, paint can or pull it out from the wall far enough so it will not fall down.
Looking up from the bottom on the left front side you should see a small pump. If it has been out of balance or has sucked something up in it the fan blade may be stopped. If not you should be able to freely turn this blade. If you can't turn it you have and internal clog.
If you get this far and don't want to call a repairman out let me know.

Hi there
That fault is the pump blocked error (no change in water level).
i have a quick and easy way to solve this problem.

first turn the machine off then tilt the machine back and lean it on something(a chair or wall), look underneath, in the top right hand corner of the plastic outer boul you will see a small pump motor it has a fan on it spin this fan and if it is hard to turn that means there is somthing stuck in the drain pump keep turning the fan and try to free whatever is stuck in the pump, then try the machine on spin again all goin well the object in the pump should come out with the drain water(doing this will not harm the machine) if the object is still stuck you will need to get the water out of the machine (bailing or siphioning will work) and tilt the machine back again and take the wires off the pump and there should be a white tab on the boul holding the pump on pull this tab and twist the pump anticlockwise about a quarter turn(you will need a few towels or a boul or bucket to catch the water) and it should come off exposing the blockage.
Hope this solves your Problem.

Why doesn't it spin or drain?
My guess is the belt probably broke or slipped off. There's often a belt that attaches the motor to the drum. If it's humming, then the motor is probably turning, but the belt isn't turning the drum (the drum is the thing your clothes go in).

Google the model number of your washing machine and try to find the owners manual. It may have directions for how to check/change the belt. Alternatively, you can just search for your model number and "belt change" and you should find something.

Or, you know, call someone to fix it...

Auto washing machine drum vibrates makes loud noise
When machine is empty use fingers to try and move drum side to side. Is there excessive movement? 2 to 3 mm is ok. If drum moves to much it will be the drum bearings. Easy fix for an engineer or competent diyer. Millions of how to videos on utube.

Recently my washing machine has been making a lot of noise on it's spin cycle now it will not tun making a humming sound and smells odd when I try to turn it on?!
I had a Maytag washer almost 5 years old that sounded like a Jet Engine taking off during the spin cycle. It was the Tub Bearing - there are kits to do this yourself. To hire someone it would of cost almost as much as it would be to buy a new Washing machine. Never again Maytag - it was whats inside that mattered so I bought an LG washer.

If you let it go too long your going to wind up flooding underneath the washing machine with Brown gunk

My washer has recently started thumping and banging during the spin cycle. I thought it was uneven weight distribution, but it does it every spin now. And when the spinning slows down it has started...
Hi, . according to your washer problem i m writing solution ,please read and follow it:-
  1. Most noises from a washing machine occur during the spin cycle. If you hear loud thumping during the spin, the load of clothes may have become unbalanced. Stop the washer and redistribute the clothes, then re-start it. Repeat these steps if necessary.
  2. check out this following options one by one to locate the fault in your machine.
  3. 1)Check for drum bearing failure if your washing machine is noisy on the spin cycle. Drum bearing failure is common when the bearing seals start allowing water to enter. You can take the belt off and spin the drum by hand, and if the drum rumbles, replace the bearings.2)Turn the drum by hand and listen for loud noises. If the drum itself is split or the 'spider' is corroded, broken or has come apart from the back of the drum it will create a loud noise on every turn of the drum. (When the bearings have gone bad, the noise is constant the entire time the drum is spinning.)3)Look for obvious dents and creases in the drum or look for coins or small objects stuck inside the tub underneath the drum when a horrendous noise is made while clothes are in the tub.4)Clear thewater pumpfrom obstructions like coins or small objects when a noise occurs while the washing machine is emptying water.5)Remove the sump hose and look for bra wires if you hear a light scraping noise when the drum is turned by hand. You can also check to make sure a wire isn't poking out of one of the holes in the drum. In this case, you can pull the wire out easily with pliers.6)Take the belt off and run the motor alone if you hear a high pitched squealing noise to check for motor bearing damage or wear. If you still hear the noise without the belt, it's the motor bearing.

The wash cycle clicks on and a small amount of water enters the drum, as normal, but then there is just a humming noise and the drum does not move. When I put it on the rinse and spin cycle (there is...
I removed the bottom panel under the door and drained the the tub. There is a white filter housing that unscrews, but you need to have towels handy to catch the water that comes out. The machine appeared to work after that but it would'nt drain and it turns out that the humming noise was coming from the drain pump connected to the filter. I ordered a new drain pump assembly, which should be easy to replace since it is located at the front of the washing machine.

Kenmore 23012, spin cycle problem
This sounds like a broken coupler gear. I'm having the same problem with my Kenmore-80 Series. The machine fill up, pump out, but when I try to spin I get nothing and the I can hear the motor humming/grinding. I've heard the coupler gear is not expensive $35 or so and the repair procedure is not difficult, but I can't locate how to fix it. If you find any additional information, please send my way. I don't want to pay $150 or so to have it serviced.

Loud noise when spinning
the only part that makes a loud noise is your bearings m8 other than that could be a bra wire stuck inbetween your drum and casing m8
