An unbalanced load, drainage problem, damaged hose, or internal fault can prevent spinning or cause leaking. Pause the appliance, check accessible basics, and request repair for repeated problems.

Separate load issues from recurring faults

A single bulky load can behave differently from normal laundry. Follow the manual to redistribute items and avoid overloading.

If the same problem occurs with ordinary loads, note whether the washer fills, drains, and attempts to spin. Do not bypass door or lid safety switches.

Treat water leaks carefully

Stop the washer and, if safely accessible, shut off its water supply. Keep away from water near plugs or other electrical connections.

For a Memphis-area service request, describe where water appears and at what point in the cycle. Photos of the leak area can help you explain the issue.
