Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before internal checks.
- Step 1 – Check settings: Ensure the selected program has a high-speed spin enabled and that the spin speed has not been manually reduced.
- Step 2 – Redistribute load: Remove some items and run a spin-only cycle. Mixed loads spin better than single heavy items.
- Step 3 – Check drainage: Clean the pump filter and ensure the drain hose is not blocked or kinked. Poor drainage prevents full spin.
- Step 4 – Inspect belt and motor: Remove the rear panel and check the belt for slipping or glazing. Replace if loose or worn. If the motor struggles or sparks, it may need replacement.
