How to repair your appliance? Experts will help you...

You own a Philco brand washing machine, model WM-PH08 Top Load. You have noticed that the spin cycle is very gentle and you think that this is not normal. You have performed various checks to determine the cause of the problem. First, you tested the motor with and without the belt and it works perfectly. The capacitor has also been checked and it measures 15.20 uf, which corresponds to a normal value for a capacitor of 16 uf +/- 5%. To be sure, you can check the tension of the belt. If it is loose, it can slip and prevent the drum from reaching a higher speed. It is also possible that the belt is simply worn out and slipping. You can try to tighten it slightly to see if that solves the problem. Another check you can perform is to run the machine empty and observe if only the impeller or the drum rotates. If that is the case, it is possible that the drive spring inside the plastic gears is damaged. They will be able to provide a more accurate diagnosis and suggest the best solution to repair your appliance. Remember to unplug your washing machine before performing any o fthese checks for your safety.
