Washer-dryer leaves clothes very wet at the end of the cycle (poor spin performance)

Possible Causes

Partially blocked drain pump or hose, Unbalanced loads causing reduced spin speed, Worn motor or tachometer issues, Incorrect spin speed setting

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before cleaning filters or hoses.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Check spin settings: Ensure the selected program has a high enough spin speed and that "no spin" or low spin options are not selected.
  • 2. Clean pump filter: Open the lower flap, drain residual water, and clean the drain pump filter thoroughly.
  • 3. Inspect drain hose: Check for kinks or partial blockages that slow draining.
  • 4. Load balance: Avoid single heavy items. If the machine repeatedly fails to reach full spin, redistribute the load and run a separate spin cycle.
  • 5. Motor/tach issues: If poor spin persists, inspect the motor and tachometer as described for E06/E18.
