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.
Washer not loaded as recommended.
Small items may have been caught in pump.
Empty pockets and use garment bags
for small items.
A tightly packed or unbalanced load may not allow the washer
to spin correctly, leaving the load wetter than normal. See “Cycle
Guide” for load size recommendations for each cycle.

spinning, loads are
still wet
Drain hose extends into standpipe
farther than 4.5" (114 mm).
Check drain hose for proper installation. Use drain hose form

The load may be out of balance.
Avoid washing single items. Balance a single item such as a rug
or jacket with a few extra items.
The drain hose is clogged, or the
end of the drain hose more than
96" (2.4 m) above the floor.
Lower drain hose if the end is higher than 96" (2.4 m) above the
floor. Remove any clogs from drain hose. See “Installation
Requirements.”
The drain hose fits too tightly
in the standpipe, or it is taped
to the standpipe.
The drain hose should be loose yet fit securely. Do not seal the
drain hose with tape. The hose needs an air gap. See “Secure
the Drain Hose.”
The drum has clothing stuck between
spin basket and outer tub.
Rotate drum by hand to check for any binding of the spin
