LG No or Poor Spin Performance

Washer will not spin or spins very slowly; clothes come out very wet.

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, Clogged drain system, Worn shock absorbers or suspension rods, Faulty motor or tachometer sensor

Safety first: Wait for the drum to stop before reaching inside.

Redistribute load: Open the door and rearrange items evenly. Remove heavy items if overloaded.
Check drain: Ensure the washer drains fully; clean the drain pump filter and hose as needed.
Run spin-only: Try a Spin Only cycle with a small load. If it still will not spin, inspect shocks/suspension for wear.
Motor diagnosis: If the drum does not accelerate to high speed and no error code appears, the motor or Hall sensor may be weak and require replacement.
