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.

- 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.
