Possible Causes

Clogged drain system leaving water in tub, worn drive belt slipping, unbalanced load causing reduced spin speed, motor or tachometer issues

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before internal checks.

  • Check for standing water: If water remains in the drum, inspect and clean the drain pump filter and hose as described for drain faults.
  • Run spin-only cycle: With an empty drum, run a spin cycle and observe speed and vibration. If spin is slow, inspect the drive belt for wear and tension.
  • Redistribute loads: Avoid washing single heavy items; mix with other garments to balance the load.
  • Inspect motor drive: If belt and drain are good but spin remains weak, the motor or control may be failing and should be checked by a technician.

When to call a technician: Persistent poor spin with no obvious mechanical cause warrants professional diagnosis.
