Why Is My Lamona Washing Machine Not Spinning?
When a Lamona washing machine fails to spin, the laundry is left saturated with water at the end of the cycle. The machine may complete the wash programme but skip or cut short the spin. Check the display for any error codes before investigating further.
Common Causes
Unbalanced load
The most common cause. Lamona machines display E20 when an unbalanced load is detected. If laundry is bunched together on one side of the drum, the machine will reduce or cancel the spin to protect itself.
Drainage fault
A Lamona washing machine will not spin if it cannot drain the water first. If E05 or E08 is displayed, check the pump filter and drain hose.
Overloaded drum
An overloaded drum prevents the laundry from moving freely, which can prevent the machine from reaching spin speed.
Door not fully closed
The machine will not spin if the door lock is not fully engaged.
Motor fault
If E14 or E15 is displayed, there is a motor or motor speed sensor fault that will require professional attention.
Checks To Try Before Calling An Engineer
Redistribute the load
Open the door and rearrange the laundry evenly around the drum. Select a spin-only programme and try again.
Clean the pump filter
Located behind a small cover panel at the bottom front of the machine. Place towels beneath it before opening. Twist anticlockwise to remove, clear any debris and refit securely.
Check the door
Ensure the door is firmly closed and nothing is caught in the seal.
Reset the machine
Turn the programme selection dial to off. Unplug from the mains and wait at least one minute. Plug back in and try a spin-only programme.
