Hello there and thank you for choosing fixya
Here are some things for you to check out
Please read fully this covers a couple of different brands but it is all the same things to check ok?
When the clothes are wet at the end of a cycle, check these:
Motor coupler
To
test the motor coupler, re-start the washer in its spin cycle. Let the
machine run for a minute, and then open the lid and notice whether the
tub is spinning:
If it's spinning when you lift the lid, the coupler is fine.
If
it isn't spinning--and your machine was produced by Whirlpool®--you may
have a broken coupler. Many Whirlpool-made washers use a small,
relatively inexpensive device called a motor coupling. This
plastic-and-rubber component is mounted to the shaft of the motor on one
side, and to the transmission on the other. Over time, the coupler
wears out and fails. When that happens, you need to replace it
completely.
Spin cycle
If
the washer doesn't reach its proper spin speed, the clothes may be too
wet at the end of a cycle. Check to be sure the load is properly
balanced and run a spin cycle again. If the clothes are still wet, you
may have a worn or loose belt (Maytag®), a worn clutch (GE®/Hotpoint®),
or a worn motor pulley or tub bearing. Replace the applicable component.
Alternatively,
there could be clothes caught between the inner and outer tubs. Read
the "It spins but won't pump" section of the "It won't drain" section.
Also, there could be other things that cause friction on the drive
train. Seek the assistance of a qualified appliance repair technician.
Siphoning
If
the water that pumps from the machine goes right back into the machine
after the spin cycle, it may be because your washer is siphoning the
water from a laundry tub with a slow drain, back into the washer. Try to
improve the draining of the laundry tub. (Is there something stuck in
the drain?) Also, be sure the drain hose doesn't reach more than about 4
inches into the laundry tub. If it does, cut off the excess.
Water-inlet valve
Water-inlet
valves eventually fail. One problem that may develop with a water-inlet
valve is that it can no longer completely shut off when the electricity
is turned off to it. Then, the valve may leak and drip water into the
clothes tub--you may notice that your washer has water in it when you
haven't used it for a few days. To fix this, replace the valve.
