A washing machine that fails to spin is frustrating, as wet clothes will not get fully dried. But don’t panic; there are often simple fixes for this common Hisense washer problem. Let’s systematically work through potential causes and solutions.
Hisense Washing Machine Not Spinning (Solved)
First, make sure the washing machine is level and stable. If the machine rocks or wobbles during spin cycles, an unbalanced load could be triggering safety sensors to stop spinning for protection. Re-level the machine if necessary.

Check that the spin cycle is selected properly on the control panel. Try reselecting the spin option in case buttons become stuck or the cycle is accidentally cancelled mid-wash.
Inspect the inner tub for items that may have been accidentally left inside, like loose change. Foreign objects can throw the tub out of balance and trigger anti-imbalance switches. Remove any blockages before running another cycle.
Examine the drive belt for damage, cracks, or slippage. Over time, belts can stretch or break, preventing power transfer to the motor. Spinning works fine until heavy loads are reached. Replace a worn belt to ensure strong torque.
The transmission clutch may need adjustment if slipping occurs, especially during higher-speed spins. An authorized technician can check clutch operation and settings.
If the motor itself has failed, it won’t power the inner tub, no matter the settings. Contact Hisense regarding motor replacement, which may be covered under warranty if the issue is mechanical in nature.
With some basic checks and part replacements if needed, you’ve hopefully identified the root cause behind your Hisense washer not spinning properly. Addressing common mechanical issues usually restores full functionality without requiring a service call. Don’t hesitate to contact Hisense support if problems persist.
