Defy Reduced Spin Performance

Washer leaves clothes very wet at end of cycle, but it did spin somewhat

Possible Causes

Spin speed set too low, Unbalanced load causing spin reduction, Partially blocked drain pump or hose, Worn motor brushes reducing torque

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before cleaning the pump filter.

  • Check spin setting: Confirm that the selected program has a high enough spin speed and that spin is not set to 0.
  • Run extra spin: Remove heavy items if necessary, redistribute the load, and run a separate spin-only cycle.
  • Clean pump filter: Open the pump filter flap, drain residual water, and clean out debris that may slow draining.

If performance does not improve, the motor or control system may need professional attention.
