My Kenmore Elite washer spins to slow causing the clothes to be wet after wash cycle. It is model 110.15942400
If this is occurring mostly on heavier loads your clutch may be slipping. If you take a flathead screwdriver and push down the lid switch so the washer will spin with the lid up, grab the inside of the drum. If you can easily stop the drum its most likely a bad clutch. If you tip the washer back and see oil underneath then its probably your transmission leaking oil onto the the clutch causing it to slip (in which case you need transmission and clutch assy). If you see oil I would probably not bother calling a tech it would be a pretty expensive repair.
IF the problem is with the clutch only it may be worth repairing but to replace the clutch you will have to remove the pump, motor, transmission, and the clutch mounts on top. The other less common possibility could be a bad drive block under the inner tub. hope this helps. _MJ_

This seems to occur, even while empty. The drum spins, just not at top speed where it should be. I did some additional research and some have suggested a bad or worn motor coupler. There is no oil leak so we're good there. I will try holding the drum back on your request and get back to you. Thanks for your assistance thus far.
