How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the washer before inspecting mechanical parts.

  • 1. Run an extra spin: Select a drain & spin cycle with no additional water to remove more moisture.
  • 2. Redistribute load: If the load was bulky or uneven, rearrange items and run spin again.
  • 3. Check drain performance: Ensure water is draining quickly. Clear any clogs in the pump or hose.
  • 4. Inspect belt and motor: Replace a slipping belt and evaluate motor performance if spin speed seems low.
