ARDO Washer won't spin

When your ARDO washer won't spin, start with the suspension rods. A broken or dislodged rod can leave the tub unbalanced, causing the control board to stop the spin cycle while it tries to redistribute the load. Next, check the lid switch assembly, which prevents spinning when the lid is open. Test it for continuity with a multimeter and replace it if it fails. A broken motor coupling, often caused by overloading or normal wear, can also leave the washer not spinning because it no longer connects the drive motor to the transmission. Inspect the drive belt for breaks or looseness on the pulleys. For a front load model, make sure the door is fully closed and the door strike is not damaged. If these components check out, the control board may not be supplying power to the drive motor during the spin cycle. These are the most common reasons an ARDO washing machine won't spin, but wiring and other drive components may also require testing. Enter your model number to find the exact suspension rods, lid switch, motor coupling, drive belt, door strike, or control board for your specific washing machine.

01 - ARDO Washing Machine Suspension Rod

A top-load washer tub is usually supported by four suspension rods. If one of the suspension rods becomes dislodged or breaks, the control board may stop the spin cycle several times to try to balance the clothes. Suspension rods will often come in a set of four and it is recommended to replace all four of the rods at the same time to reduce uneven wear.

02 - ARDO Washing Machine Lid Switch Assembly

The lid switch assembly prevents the washer from spinning when the lid is open. If the lid switch assembly fails, the washer will not spin. To determine if the lid switch assembly is defective, use a multimeter to test the lid switch for continuity. If the lid switch does not have continuity, replace it.

03 - ARDO Washing Machine Drive Belt

Inspect the drive belt to determine if it is broken or if it is loose on the pulleys. If the drive belt is broken or loose, replace it.

04 - ARDO Washing Machine Motor Coupling

The motor coupling connects the motor to the washing machine transmission. If the washer is overloaded, the motor coupling will fail in order to protect both the motor and transmission. The motor coupling can also fail due to normal wear. Inspect the motor coupling to determine if it is broken. If the motor coupling is broken, replace it.

05 - Door is not fully closed

Make sure the door is closed completely and remove any obstructions preventing the door from closing. Confirm the door strike on the door is not broken. If it is broken, you will need to replace the door strike.

06 - ARDO Washing Machine Control Board

Since a washing machine control board provides voltage to nearly all of the washer's electrical components, a faulty board may not be sending power to the drive motor during the spin cycle. You can inspect the board for signs of burning or a shorted-out component. You can also use a multimeter to test the power output terminals on the board after reviewing the appliance's wiring diagram.

07 - ARDO Washing Machine Door Latch

The door latch secures the washer door shut during operation. Once the washer door is shut, the washer can begin operating. If the washer door is not latched shut, the door switch will prevent the washer from operating. If the door latch is defective, the washer will not spin or start. The door latch can fail either mechanically or electrically. Inspect the door latch for damage. If the door latch is damaged, or does not close properly, replace it. To determine if the door latch has failed electrically, use a multimeter to test any switches on the door latch for continuity. If one of the switches does not have continuity w...hen activated, replace the switch.
