Possible Causes
Clogged drain pump or filter, Unbalanced load causing spin abort, Faulty pressure switch not detecting empty tub, Weak motor or drive belt slipping
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before cleaning the pump or accessing internal parts.
Steps to check and correct:
- Check drain performance: Run a drain-only cycle and listen for the pump. If water drains slowly, clean the pump filter and inspect the drain hose.
- Redistribute load: Open the door and redistribute heavy items. Run a spin-only cycle.
- Verify spin speed setting: Ensure the selected program is not set to low or no spin.
- Inspect belt and motor: Check the drive belt for glazing or slack and replace if slipping. Test motor torque in diagnostic mode if available.
- Check pressure switch: If the control never sees an empty signal, it may not ramp to full spin. Test and replace the pressure switch if faulty.
