Possible Causes

Unbalanced load preventing full spin speed, Blocked pressure system misreading water level, Worn motor brushes reducing torque, Partially blocked drain system

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before internal checks.

  • Reload laundry: Redistribute items evenly and avoid mixing heavy and light fabrics. Run an extra spin cycle.
  • Check drainage: Ensure the pump filter and drain hose are clear so water can be expelled quickly.
  • Inspect pressure hose: A blocked pressure system can make the control think water is still in the drum and limit spin speed. Clean hose and chamber.
  • Check motor brushes: Replace worn brushes if the motor cannot reach full spin speed.
