Washer will not spin, clothes come out soaking wet, but it may drain water.

Safety first: Unplug the washer before accessing internal components.

Step-by-step:

• Check load balance: Redistribute clothes evenly and run a spin-only cycle. Avoid single heavy items.
• Verify lid/door lock: Ensure the lid or door locks during spin. If it does not, inspect and replace the lock assembly.
• Inspect belt and pulley: On belt-driven models, check the belt for wear or breakage and replace if needed.
• Check shift actuator (top-load): If the washer drains but does not spin, the shift actuator may not be shifting into spin mode. Replace if noisy or unresponsive.
• Control/motor diagnosis: If mechanical parts and locks are good, the motor or control board may be faulty and require professional diagnosis.
