Solution
Using cycles with a lower spin speed. Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles
with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/speed spin
for your garment.

Small items may have been caught in pump or between basket
and tub, which can slow draining.
Empty pockets and use garment bags
for small items.

leaving the load wetter than normal.

Check plumbing for correct drain
hose installation. Drain hose extends

(114 mm).
Check drain hose for proper installation. Use drain hose form

drain opening.
Lower drain hose if the end is higher than 96" (2.4 m) above the
floor. Remove any clogs from drain hose.
