Clothes come out very wet; spin seems weak or does not reach full speed.

Safety: Unplug the appliance before internal checks.

• Load distribution:
  • Spin heavy items with similar weight items to balance the drum.
  • Avoid single large items (e.g., one blanket) alone.
• Check drainage:
  • Clean the pump filter and ensure the drain hose is clear.
  • Poor drainage prevents high-speed spin.
• Inspect motor brushes (if fitted):
  • Remove the motor and check carbon brushes for length (typically replace if under ~1 cm).
  • Replace with OEM Hotpoint-Ariston brushes if worn.
• If issue persists: The tachometer or control board may be misreading speed; inspect and replace as needed.
