Washer leaves clothes soaking wet at end of cycle

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Spin speed set too low, Unbalanced load causing reduced spin, Worn drive belt slipping, Faulty motor or tachometer feedback

Safety first: Unplug the unit before internal inspection.

1. Check settings: Ensure the cycle is set to a high or normal spin speed, not low or delicate.
2. Redistribute load: Rearrange clothes and run an additional spin cycle.
3. Inspect belt: Access the drive belt and check for glazing or slack. Replace if worn.
4. Motor/tach test: If the drum does not reach full speed, test the motor and tachometer circuit per the tech sheet. Replace faulty components.
