Possible Causes
Unbalanced load detected, Blocked drain pump or hose, Worn motor brushes, Faulty pressure switch not detecting empty tub
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before checking filters or internal parts.
- Check for error codes: If an F05/F11 is present, address drainage first.
- Redistribute load: Remove some items or redistribute heavy items evenly and run a spin-only cycle.
- Clean pump filter: Open and clean the pump filter to ensure full drainage.
- Check drain hose height: Ensure the drain hose is installed at the correct height per the manual; too low can cause siphoning and poor spin.
- Inspect motor brushes: If the drum turns slowly or not at high speed, check and replace worn brushes.
- Pressure switch: If the machine never reaches spin and thinks water is still present, inspect the pressure switch and hose for blockages.
