Why does my washer wash but not rinse?
Most likely you’ve either overloaded the washing machine, used the wrong type of detergent, or used too much detergent. Try putting in fewer clothes, switching up your detergent, or using less detergent to see if these solutions alleviate your soapy clothes problem.
Why won’t my washer finish the cycle?
Some of the most common faults that will make your washer stop mid cycle include thermostat failure, problems filling up with water for the rinse cycle, or even pump problems that prevent your washer from draining. The pump could also be to blame if your washer is failing to drain.
Why are my clothes not rinsing properly?
The hose between your machine and the drain shouldn’t be bent or clogged. If the hose can’t remove the water properly, soapy residue may be left on your laundry. Check the hose and unclog or straighten it if necessary. The most probable cause is a clogged pump filter.
Why is my washer leaving black marks on my clothes?
The blotchy marks that are sometimes left on your clothes after you’ve washed them can be caused by ‘scrud’, which is a waxy build-up of fabric softener or detergent in the drum of your washing machine. Run an empty cycle with just hot water and a good detergent, first letting it soak overnight.
Why does my washer not drain and spin?
If your washer won’t drain or spin, the water level control may be faulty. Open the machine’s control panel and look for a plastic tube attached to the water level valve. If it’s clogged, clear it out with vinegar. If the valve itself is corroded, it may need to be replaced.

Does baking soda damage washing machine?
Baking soda acts as a natural brightener and deodorizer. If you have particularly smelly clothes, using a full cup of baking soda will not harm your washer. You’ll get better results if you allow the clothes to soak in the baking soda and water for at least 30 minutes before completing the wash cycle.
