Hoover Spin Cycle Not Reaching High Speed

Washer-dryer does not spin or only performs slow spins; clothes come out very wet

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Unbalanced load detection, Blocked drain system, Faulty tachometer sensor, Worn motor brushes

Safety: Unplug before internal checks.

Redistribute load: Open the door and redistribute heavy items (e.g., towels, duvets). Remove some items if the drum is overfilled, then restart spin.
Check drain: Ensure the pump filter and drain hose are clear so water can be fully removed before spin.
Observe for error codes: If codes appear, follow the relevant motor or tachometer diagnostics.
Motor and tach check: Inspect motor brushes and tachometer as described in motor-related entries. Replace worn brushes or faulty tachometer.
