Possible Causes
Excessive load or imbalance, Weak motor, Worn drive components (belt, hub, splutch), Control miscalibration
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the washer before internal inspection.
- Step 1 – Reduce and rebalance load: Remove some items and redistribute remaining clothes evenly. Run a Drain & Spin cycle.
- Step 2 – Inspect drive system: Check belt tension (if belted), drive hub condition, and splutch for wear or slippage.
- Step 3 – Spin basket by hand: Ensure it rotates freely without scraping or grinding.
If the washer still cannot reach spin speed with a small, balanced load, the motor or control may be failing and should be tested by a technician.
