Blocked Drainage trap
Did you know that a blocked drainage trap is a common non-mechanical reason for a front-load washing machine to stop spinning. Lint and small items such as paper that may have been left in pockets or inadvertently picked up with the laundry can sometimes collect in the machines drainage trap. The built in filtration system prevents the items from entering the main drainage outlet and clogging or damaging the drain. Well you know, That said, in most cases if the drainage trap itself happens to become clogged up, the washing machine will shut down. Washing machine models differ depending on the manufacturer, but you’ll need to find the drainage trap door (this is normally on the front bottom portion of the washing machine.) Pull and pop out the cutout section to access the drain trap cap or plug.
We fins that some water normally remains in the drainage trap, so please do ensure that you place a cup or small basin under the drainage cap to catch any liquid prior to turning the cap counterclockwise. Ensure that all of the water drains out, then clean out any lint, paper or debris that may be trapped and clogging the drainage outlet. Once it has been cleared up, do replace the lint trap (secure it in its rightful place by turning it clockwise), and snapping and clicking the cover back into place. Restart the washing machine to resume the spin cycle.
Master Reset Option If neither rebalancing the machines load nor cleaning the drainage trap seems yo resolves your problem, the master reset option may help. To reset the machine you will need to unplug the machine for approximately one minute. Plug it back in to the wall and reset the onboard computer by opening and closing the door six times in 12 seconds. This is sometimes not possible with all washing machines.
