Commercial Laundry

Washer-extractor will not spin

Commercial washer completing wash but not spinning

Professional service required

Wash completes, no or partial extraction

Likely causes

  • · Unbalanced load detection
  • · Drain not clear, so spin is inhibited
  • · Door lock not confirming

Safe preliminary checks

  • · Redistribute the load and restart the extraction stage
  • · Confirm the drain is clear and the standpipe is not blocked
  • · Check nothing is trapped in the door seal

When it needs a professional

Bearing, suspension and interlock work is professional-only.

Stop immediately if

  • · Smoke, burning smell or water on live parts
  • · Refrigerant leak, gas odour or pressure vessel noise
