Spin balance not achieved
Common Causes
- 1A lone bulky piece thrown to one side
- 2Load heaped against a single drum wall
- 3Cabinet standing off-level
- 4Spent suspension no longer settling the basket
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
Halt the cycle, open up, and fan the wash out evenly so no wall of the drum carries the weight
- 2
Toss in a couple of towels when washing a single big item like a duvet to steady the spin
- 3
Lay a level across the lid and true the corner feet until the cabinet quits rocking
- 4
Snug each leveling-foot lock nut once the machine sits flat and dead still
Pro Diagnostic Tip
When a Hotpoint keeps flagging imbalance on a neatly spread load, the damping suspension has worn out rather than anything you did. Shove down on the basket and let go — more than a single rebound means the suspension rods are tired and want renewing.
You Might Also Notice
- •A hard thumping through the spin ramp
- •The washer creeping across the floor
