If it goes through the complete cycle o.k. except for the slow spin then the motor itself needs to be checked.

SOURCE: kenmore elite washer leaks water in spin cycle

You need to replace your pump. Make sure you have the washer either on something that will absorb water, or fix it outside/garage. Because these pumps hold extra water and that is why it is not recommended to keep them outside to do laundry in colder climates. The water can freeze in the pump and wreck it. Good luck. They actually are pretty easy to replace.

Look in the pump and see if maybe something is clogging it. Check the belt.
This video shows how to get into the washer.

After having frozen pipes, and thawing out we have noticed that the spin mode is a lot loader than it used to be

If it's not an out of balance problem (the tub), then there could be something wrong with the clutch or the transmission pulley. Make sure you don't overload your washer. Open the lid while it is in spin cycle and see if the clothes are balanced out.

It won't spin or do anything, it will only fill, last night it started banging during the spin cycle now it doesn't make any noise at all

I would need a little more infor. - but when your machine bangs on the spin cycle, it usually means your load is unbalanced. So lift open your machine and balance out your clothes. This should clear this up. You see this problem more with heavier loads (eg. towels, jeans, heavy garments, etc.). I try and balance out my laundry as I put it in the machine. It helps a bit, but even so, I still at times have to go balance it out manually. I hope this helps, but if not - then there's some other question's I would ask, but that's where I mentioned needing more info. at the beginning. Good Luck!

My kenmore elite smartwash quiet pak 9 he 4t seems to be off

have you tried lower spin speeds? I found with heavy items such as towels and jeans it is best to lower the spin speed. also washing like heavy items on a certain wash cycle is best - i.e. towels on bluky/bedding.

hope that helps.

Washer shakes real bad in spin cycle

Does it do this when the drum is empty?If not, then you may be overloading the unit with clothes. Or, the clothes may have entangled into a ball. Untangle and spread out.

Beach towels sopping wet after machine done spinning

The washer will not proceed into high speed spin with just two large beach towels in the basket. The washer is detecting a out of balance condition, and remains in low speed spin. Solution? Try adding more items into the basket. With only two towels, there is not enough mass to balance the washer. With more clothing or towels, there is more items for the machine to balance, and reach full speed spin.

The only other thing that could cause this, would be if the water in the tub is not completely draining in the time allowed. This washe does not have a cleanout, and checking for an obtruction in the pump is difficult. I would go with the more clothes first, then see.

Sounds like a loose screw/bolt/nut during the spin cycle

Hi,
There is nothing wrong with your machine. Don'f bother with the sound , You said you threw 2 pair of jeans, so its bottons are causing the sound against the drum during cycle. Finished your laundry and worry no more. To make sure, throw some another clothing asides form jeans, like shirts, and feel the normal silent of your machine.

Good Luck,
Eriez

Kenmore front load wet clothes

Before going further it is important to determine if the machine is reaching full spin. Make sure the unit is set to MAX extract and watch the inner tub. The tub should be spin really fast (1000 rpm's or better) during the final spin. If not you have lost one of the phases on the motor.
