Fisher & Paykel Reduced Spin Performance

Washer leaves clothes very wet at the end of the cycle, but it does spin somewhat.

Possible Causes

Out-of-balance detection limiting spin speed, clogged drain system causing retained water, worn motor or drive components, incorrect spin speed setting selected.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before inspecting hoses or pump.

  • Check settings: Confirm the selected program uses high spin and that the spin speed has not been manually reduced.
  • Inspect drain: Ensure the drain hose and pump are clear so water can fully evacuate before and during spin.
  • Rebalance load: Avoid single heavy items; mix with other garments to balance the drum.
  • Run spin-only test: With a small, balanced load, run a spin-only cycle. If the drum never reaches full speed, the motor or control may require service.
