Washer will not spin or has very slow spin, clothes come out very wet.

Safety first: Keep hands clear of the drum while the washer is running. Unplug before internal inspection.

Step-by-step:

• Redistribute load: Open the lid/door (when safe) and redistribute heavy items. Remove some items if the drum is tightly packed.
• Run drain & spin: Select a drain/spin cycle with no clothes to see if the washer reaches full spin speed.
• Check belt and motor: If spin is weak or noisy, inspect the drive belt and motor as described in the previous scenario.
• Inspect suspension: Excessive tub wobble can prevent high spin. Check suspension rods (top-load) or shock absorbers (front-load) for wear or breakage.

When to call a technician: If the washer never reaches high spin even empty, and no error codes are shown, a speed sensing or control issue may exist and should be diagnosed professionally.
