Poor Spin Performance / Incomplete Extraction
Washer-dryer combo spins but clothes come out very wet; spin speed seems low.

Possible Causes
Clogged drain pump or hose, unbalanced load detection limiting spin, worn drive belt, weak motor or control issue
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing internal components.
- Check drain performance: Run a drain/spin cycle and observe the drain hose. Water should flow out strongly. If weak, clean the drain pump filter and hoses.
- Redistribute loads: Avoid washing single heavy items. Balance loads to allow full-speed spin.
- Inspect belt and motor: On belt-driven models, check for a loose or glazed belt. Replace if slipping. Ensure the motor pulley is secure.
- Verify spin settings: Confirm that the selected cycle is set to high spin and not a delicate/low-spin option.
