Poor Spin Extraction
Washer-dryer combo leaves clothes very wet at the end of the cycle, even though it appears to spin.

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.
