Machine won't spin properly

Machine won't spin properly — Out of balance load detected

Indesit · Washing Machines

What does Machine won't spin properly mean?

If the machine struggles to spin properly, it likely detected an out-of-balance load. It will attempt to redistribute the load repeatedly to reach higher spin speeds, which increases program time. This is a safety feature to prevent damage.

Common Causes

  • Out of balance detected (e.g., from washing a single heavy item like a duvet).

    Try the program again with a different, more balanced load.
