Possible Causes

Spin speed set too low, Unbalanced load causing reduced spin speed, Partially blocked drain system, Worn motor or belt slipping under load

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before inspecting hoses or belts.

Steps to improve spin:

  • Check settings: Ensure the selected program uses a high spin speed. Manually select a higher spin if available.
  • Redistribute load: Run a separate spin-only cycle after redistributing the load evenly in the drum.
  • Check drainage: Clean the drain pump filter and ensure the drain hose is not kinked or partially blocked.
  • Inspect belt (if applicable): Remove the rear panel and check for a loose or slipping belt. Replace if worn.

When to stop: If clothes remain very wet despite proper settings and drainage, the motor or control system may not be achieving full spin speed; professional diagnosis is advised.
