Zanussi Poor Spin Performance

Washer leaves clothes very wet at the end of the cycle, even though it appears to spin.

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

Unbalanced load detection preventing full spin, Clogged pump filter causing retained water, Worn motor brushes, Faulty tachometer sensor

Safety: Unplug the washer before internal checks.

Check for retained water: Open the pump filter and see if water remains in the tub. Clean the filter if blocked.
Redistribute load: Run a spin-only cycle with the load redistributed. Avoid single heavy items.
Inspect motor brushes and tachometer: If the drum never reaches high speed, check brushes (if fitted) and the tachometer sensor as described in motor-related entries.
