Does not fast spin - Hotpoint Aquarius WF220 Front Load Washer

It’s designed to spin fast on spin cycle but should be some speed difference if there are selections for different speeds. Control board problem most likely

If it spins over fast like there is no resistance at all then you have a bigger issue. Could be dropped valve, timing, warped head, etc. The amount of compressioninside the cylinder will not allow it to spin over freely and fast.

Hi, it means that the machine is not spinning fast enough and pumping the water away. If its not spinning enough then you have to get the machine looked at as its not clicking on in the cycle for it to spin fast enough. You also have to have it set to wash cycle that has a fast spin. If it is spinning fast then you have to look at the pump to make sure its pumping the water away.

motor control board

Either the motor cannot turn over fast enough to power the pulley system, or there is an issue with the pulley system.

The arms don't spin all that fast .. Mine takes about 2 seconds or so to go around once.

Try this... while in in spin turn your spin selector switch and listen if motor spins slower or faster.. at fast spin open your lid quick to see how fast its spinning.. check and make sure your drain line is cleared and the water flow out fast...and if its spinning too slow problem is in the gearbox area..

We have exact same washer. It is 11 years old. We are at a point where we have to spin it 7 times and then still isn't too dry. It dies yesterday a very loud death. Mentioning this here because it could be a foreshadowing of your Kenmore 90's future.
