Grundig Reduced Spin Performance

Washer completes cycle but clothes are still very wet; spin seems weak or short.

Safety Warning

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 limiting spin speed, Clogged pump filter causing residual water, Worn motor brushes (on brushed models), Faulty motor speed sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before cleaning filters or accessing the motor.

Step-by-step checks:

Check pump filter: Clean the filter to ensure full drainage before spin.
Load distribution: Avoid small loads with one heavy item. Re-run spin with a better-balanced load.
Inspect motor brushes: On brushed Grundig models, worn brushes can reduce torque. Replace if worn.
Run spin-only program: Test maximum spin speed on an empty or evenly loaded drum. If speed is still low, investigate motor and tachometer as per E06.
