Possible Causes

Unbalanced load causing spin abort, clogged drain pump or hose, worn drive belt, faulty motor or tachometer, pressure switch not resetting to empty

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing internal components. Water may be present in hoses.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Run drain and spin: Select a drain/spin cycle with no extra rinse. If the drum drains but does not reach high speed, continue with checks.
  • 2. Check for error codes: Even if not displayed, enter diagnostic mode (per tech sheet) to see stored codes like F21 or F25 that can guide you.
  • 3. Inspect drain system: Clean the pump filter and check the drain hose for blockages as described under F21.
  • 4. Check belt and motor: Inspect the drive belt for wear and tension. Replace if loose or glazed. Verify the motor runs smoothly.
  • 5. Pressure switch: If the control thinks water is still present, it may not allow high-speed spin. Inspect the pressure hose and switch as under F10.
