My machine won't complete the spin cycle. I have adjusted the feet and. made sure it is level . The machine begins to rock during the spin cycle and stops. It then starts again and stops. I have adjusted load size and nothing seems to fix the problem. Clothes are coming out too wet. Any suggestions?
Try pushing down lightly on the lid and see if the spin cycle starts back up. On mine, the same thing happened because the small plastic pin attached to the lid was just barely long enough to push the switch that tells the washer that the lid is closed. The spin cycle will only run when that switch is pushed, i.e., when the washer thinks the lid is closed.
SOURCE: Low water level
It depends on how old the machine is, the newer machines by law,take in way less water but still wash ok. TIP.try it with out load and check water level Ire bye
SOURCE: Can you adjust the water level on the LG Tromm WM1814CW?
No. Water level is not user adjustable. The washer will automatically put in the correct amount (about 3 inches in the bottom of the tub) and adjust for load size and type. This level is all that is needed. The reason the clothes are hardly wet at the end of the cycle is due to the high spin speed (compared to almost all top loading machines). If you want to see how wet the clothes really are, pause the machine mid cycle and the door will unlock and you can see, or select a "no spin" option and see at the end of that cycle. You will use about 12 gallons of water for a large load, vs. about 45 for a top loading machine, so remember to adjust your soap and fabric softener use accordingly. ( one tablespoon detergent and one teaspoon fabric softener maximum per load)

The clothes are wet after spinning
When the clothes are wet at the end of a cycle, check these:
Motor coupler
Spin cycle
Siphoning
Water-inlet valve
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:
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.
SOURCE: washer is not adequately spinning cloths--too wet
check the berring!!! spin the machine empty by hand, and you might hear a slight or heavy scrapping noise.
SOURCE: it doesn't self balance and spin out all the water
Hi,
Problems with a washing machine not spinning or not draining are often interrelated..
If you are having a problem with your top load washer then check out thistip...

If you are having problems with your front load washing machine then checkoutthis tip...

Usually answered in minutes!
Washer counts down to 8 minutes remaining and then gets stuck because it is unable to get into the really fast spin cycle
Washer does not complete spin cycle, Stops at 9 min and makes noises like its pumping out he water but no spin.
The machine does not always start in some modes especially if you change the water temp.
Clothes still wet after completion of cycle
Also The pre select programs appear to give the wrong set up. For instance "delicates" shows "high heat" and "high spin". Surely this can not be correct.
I've read the manuals including "troubleshooting" but no reference to these problems. Scoured the Internet without any results. Am now considering calling a ervice expert in.
