Bauknecht Spin cycle failure / unbalance control

Washer does not spin or spins very slowly, clothes come out very wet

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

Unbalanced load, worn motor brushes, faulty tachometer sensor, weak motor, worn shock absorbers causing excessive vibration

Safety first: Unplug before internal checks.

Redistribute load: Open the door and spread laundry evenly. Avoid single heavy items like bath mats.
Check spin speed setting: Ensure the selected program allows high-speed spin and that spin speed is not set to low or off.
Inspect shocks: If the machine shakes excessively, inspect and replace worn shock absorbers.

If no improvement: Motor brushes or tachometer may need replacement, which is a more advanced repair.
