Ok, this is a tricky one so here are a few things to check, first open door and spin drum any direction. watch drum and also listen while it spins. do this a few times to ensure you have listened or see any possible issues like: unusual grinding noise,tub out of round," wobbling", rubbing anywhere on front rubber door boot or plastic slivering around area of plastic pieces. if that is ok then with two fingers and gentle lift upper part of basket slightly to check for ant slop or slack in rear bearing. if thats ok then next check to make sure that all four feet are firm not to allow washer to, "teeter totter" form two feet to other two feet. lean on top from side to side and make sure unit is stout or firm footed on ground. last is to make sure your floor is not weak. dose your dryer shake bad when washer goes into spin. this is a cause of out of balance. make sure your loads are same materials. imagen when there wet if they would weigh the same or balance out when there around inside basket spinig. thank you for reading this and hope it helps.

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.

Washing machine goes out of balance easily

It may be a broken spring holding the wash cylinder centered or you are over loading the machine.
