Possible Causes
Unbalanced load causing reduced spin speed, worn drive belt slipping, weak motor, control limiting spin due to sensor input
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before inspecting mechanical components.
- Check load size and distribution: Avoid overloading. Redistribute items and run an extra spin cycle.
- Inspect drive belt: Remove the rear panel and check the belt for glazing, cracks, or looseness. Replace if worn or stretched.
- Verify spin speed: Run a spin-only cycle and observe if the drum reaches high speed. If not, check for error codes in diagnostics that may indicate motor or sensor issues.
- Inspect shocks and suspension: Excessive movement can cause the control to limit spin. Replace worn shocks or springs.
