Washer-dryer does not spin or spins only very slowly; clothes come out very wet.

Safety first: Unplug the appliance and drain any standing water via the pump filter before tilting.

Step-by-step checks:

• Check drainage: Ensure the machine drains fully by cleaning the pump filter and checking the drain hose. A machine that cannot drain will not spin.
• Reload laundry: Open the door and redistribute the load. Avoid single heavy items; add smaller items to balance.
• Inspect motor brushes: On brushed motors, check brush length and replace if worn.
• Test tachometer: Measure tachometer resistance and ensure the connector is secure.
• Run spin-only program: After checks, select a spin-only cycle and observe if the drum reaches full speed.

When to call a technician: If mechanical and electrical checks are fine but spin still fails, the control board may be at fault.
