Primus No or Poor Spin Performance

Washer leaves clothes soaking wet at the end of the cycle; spin seems weak or does not occur.

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

Clogged drain pump filter, Unbalanced load causing spin abort, Worn motor brushes (if fitted), Faulty motor or tachometer sensor

Safety first: Unplug the washer before cleaning the pump filter or accessing the motor.

Clean pump filter: Open the lower service flap, remove and clean the drain pump filter thoroughly.
Redistribute load: Remove heavy items and run a spin-only cycle with a smaller, balanced load.
Check motor brushes: If the machine is older and uses a brushed motor, inspect and replace worn brushes.
Test empty spin: Run an empty spin cycle. If the drum still fails to reach speed, further diagnosis of the motor and control system is required.
