Possible Causes

Clogged drain pump or hose, Unbalanced load preventing high-speed spin, Weak drive motor or worn belt

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing the pump or motor. Water may spill when hoses are opened.

Steps to troubleshoot:

  • Check for error codes: If a drain or unbalance code appears, address that first.
  • Run drain & spin: Select a drain & spin cycle with no additional rinse. If the drum does not reach high speed, suspect drain or drive issues.
  • Inspect drain system: Clean the drain pump filter and check the drain hose for clogs as described in drain errors.
  • Check belt and motor: Remove the rear panel and inspect the drive belt for slipping or wear. Replace if loose or glazed. Listen for motor strain or humming.
  • Load size and distribution: Avoid single heavy items and ensure loads are balanced to allow high-speed spin.

If mechanical components are sound and the issue persists, the main control board or motor inverter may not be commanding full spin speed and should be evaluated by a technician.
