Possible Causes

Unbalanced load detection preventing full spin, blocked drain system, worn motor brushes, incorrect spin speed setting, faulty pressure switch not detecting empty tub

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before accessing internal parts.

Basic checks:

  • Program settings: Ensure a high spin speed is selected and that "gentle" or low-spin options are not active.
  • Drainage: Clean the pump filter and check the drain hose for kinks or blockages.
  • Load: Redistribute laundry and run an extra spin cycle.

Advanced: If problem persists, inspect motor brushes and pressure switch as described in earlier entries.
