Make sure the washer is programmed to the correct wash cycle, different cycles have different speeds!
- Make sure the drain hose on the back of the washer is not clogged or bent.
- Check that the drain hose on back of washer is positioned correctly in standpipe and is able to drain properly.
- Check the drain pump debris filter or coin trap, objects may be blocking the water flow.
- Check inside drain pump and all hoses connected to drain pump for foreign debris or small pieces of clothing.
- Be sure the wash load of clothing is balanced, balance out the wash load if you see all clothing to one side.
- Check washer belt to be sure it is not stretched out or damaged. (for most top loaders)
- Check direct drive motor coupling system to be sure there is no visible damage. (for most front loaders)
- Lid switch or door lock assembly may be damaged or bent and not making the electrical safety "connection".
