My washing machine is not spinning
Most not spinning issues can be relatively easily cured as many are down to either the use of the washing machine or relatively simple faults.
The first and most obvious things to check are: Are you trying to spin small loads? All modern machines have what are called out of balance sensors. These sensors (usually built into the electronics) will interpret small loads as a potential risk as the washing machine or washer dryer could spin out of balance leading to excessive vibration, potential damage to the cabinet and stress on the bearing and drum.

Washing small loads or single items will often cause this problem.
Adjust the load and retry.
The same problem can occur if you put too much laundry in the washing machine as well. Is the washing machine draining correctly? If the washing machine or washer dryer cannot drain then it will not spin for safety reasons. Check that the pump is clear by checking the fluff filter if there is one or disassemble and check the pump which is always at the bottom of the machine, usually at the front. Are the ca rbon brushes worn? Often, where a carbon brush motor is used, as the brushes wear down the motor will start to lose performance turning more slowly than would normally be expected. Often it is a case of simply removing the carbon brushes and replacing them with new ones.
My washing machine won't drain
Don't panic if the washing machine is full of water and will not drain, it's pretty easy to get most of them drained down and open.
The hard part is getting the machine out of situ and into a position where you can get it drained if there isn't an emergency drain down facility.
The easiest way to drain the washing machine if it's full of water is to pull it out and then drop the drain hose into a basin, gravity will do the rest. This is commonly known as gravity draining.
