Try flushing 3-4 time when big item in bathroom washing machine. If not flush dry then put in waste basket next to washing machine and wait few day. Remember to remove or stink bad for next person washing machine. |

Try putting some kimchi in with your wash. Should solve your problem. |

We had that happen, and the repair guy came and had to install a new pump for 65k. A coin had gotten jammed in ours. Check your pockets before you do the wash!  |

Obviously the problem must be solved by now, but for future reference...
The machine is probably unbalanced because you are washing a single heavy item (pillow, rug, etc.) and when the machine becomes unbalanced the spin cycle stops automatically.
The exact same thing just happened to me while washing a small bathroom rug. The repairman came and explained it. Fortunately only 18,000 won for a house call. Love Korean repair service!
When you're washing something heavy it's actually better to put other things in with it, a bunch of thick towels, jeans, heavy things that will help keep the load balanced. |

| When that happened to me it was because the outlet drain was partially blocked. It wasn't much, but it was enough to stop the water from flowing out freely. When I unblocked the drain, it drained like a champ again. |
