If you notice your clothes are still sopping wet after washing them, they haven’t gone through the spin cycle phase. While this problem can be fixed by shifting clothes, it’s best to consult a washer repair service. Here’s a closer look at how a professional can help service a washing machine that won’t spin properly.

3 Ways Technicians Can Fix Washer Spin Issues

1. Unclog the Drain 

The drain filter, pump, and hose can get clogged with small items such as articles of clothing, change, buttons, or otherwise from your laundry. When items clog the drain, the water won’t drain down the pipe as intended. A washer repair technician can check these areas for items with a plumber’s snake or use an unclogging solution mixture to clear debris buildup. Sometimes, drains may need to be replaced altogether if they still remain nonfunctional. 

2. Replace the Clutch Assembly

Clutches can wear out and inhibit the washer from spinning, which is a common service request with some top-loading machines. On this type of washer, the clutch assembly controls the agitator and spinning mechanisms.

However, friction can wear out the pads over time, leading to a slower spin cycle that doesn’t ring excess water from clothes well. A washer repair technician can test the machine for a scrapping sound or lack of movement from the agitator and recommend replacement if necessary.

3. Replace the Lid Switch

The lid switch indicates when the lid is closed so the washing machine can operate. A faulty lid switch won’t signal when the washer isn’t properly closed, so your washing machine won’t spin. If the switch activation part on the side of the lid won’t bend back into place, then you need to hire washer repair services to determine if it needs replacement.
