What will cause my Whirlpool washing machine to set on low speed spin cycle?

I have a front load whirlpool duet washing machine model GHW9400SU0 and when set on bulky items setting the spin cycle setting goes to low spin and will not change, So the clothes come out soak and wet. All the other settings can be changed to the spin speed desired. You would think on Bulky items it would set on extra high spin automaticly!! Anybody have any ideas?

The machine uses automatic load sensors to balance the load and when you put something in the machine that is big, like a comforter, it knows that it cannot balance that item. So with a front loader it wont spin at high speed because it would be off balance and either damage the machine or the machine would "walk" because of the off balance motion.

I have a whirlpool Duet front load washer that when going into the spin cycle it starts will start spinning but never goes into the fast spin to drain all the water from the wash. Clothes still wet

Hi Paul, first piece of advice is to make sure the loads of laundry are consistent. A pair of jeans or a bath towel in a load of lighter clothes can cause an off balance condition, causing the machine to constantly try to re balance the load and never reaching high speed spin. Other than that,make sure your spin speed option is set to high. If those don't solve the issue,contact a local repair company to come out and take a look. Hope that helps.

It sounds like that you may have some non-funtioning circuits in your control panel. May need to hire someone who is well versed in electronics to test some of the circuits.
