Possible Causes

Unbalanced loads repeatedly cancelled spin, Blocked pump filter causing slow drain, Worn motor brushes, Faulty pressure switch not detecting empty tub

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the washer before internal checks.

  • Run spin-only: Select a spin-only program with a smaller, balanced load to see if full speed is reached.
  • Clean pump filter: Remove and clean the drain pump filter to ensure fast drainage.
  • Check load habits: Avoid single heavy items; mix garments to allow proper balancing.
  • Inspect motor brushes: If the motor struggles to accelerate, check and replace worn brushes.
  • Pressure switch: If the machine never spins fast and seems to think water is still present, have the pressure system checked.
