Possible Causes
Unbalanced load detected, Clogged drain system leaving water in drum, Faulty tachometer sensor, Worn motor brushes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before internal checks.
Steps to restore spin:
- Check for standing water: If water remains in the drum, clean the pump filter and drain hose as described for E18.
- Rebalance load: Remove some items if the drum is overfilled, or add a few items if there is a single heavy piece. Run a spin-only program.
- Inspect motor and tach: If the machine never reaches high speed, check motor brushes and tachometer connections as in E06.
When to call a technician: Persistent spin issues with clear drainage and balanced loads may indicate motor or control faults requiring professional service.
