How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before accessing internal components.

  • Check program settings: Ensure the selected program allows high-speed spin and that spin speed has not been manually reduced.
  • Redistribute load: Remove some items and run an additional spin-only cycle.
  • Inspect motor (advanced): If spin remains weak, check motor brushes and tachometer as described in motor-related sections.

Warning: Repeated poor spin can stress the suspension and bearings. Address the cause promptly.
