Solution for no spinning of washing machine

If your Samsung washing machine is not spinning, the issue is usually caused by a drainage problem, blocked filter, or excess detergent. The spin cycle will not start until water drains properly.

This guide follows Samsung support steps to help you check the filter, drain hose, installation, and error codes to restore normal spinning performance.

1. Check the debris (pump) filter and clean it
Remove any lint, coins, or dirt blocking the filter (front-load models only).

2. Inspect the drain hose
Make sure the hose is not clogged, bent, or kinked.

3. Ensure proper drain hose installation
Keep the hose height between 6–8 inches to avoid drainage issues or siphoning.

4. Check for excessive detergent (SUD error)
If too much detergent is used, run an extra rinse cycle to remove foam.

5. Look for draining error codes (5C / 5E)
These indicate a drainage problem that must be resolved before spinning can start.
