Diagnosis
The washer is either not reaching high spin speed or is draining poorly, so clothes sit in water. The first place to check is always for a drain clog or a kinked drain hose.
How to Fix It
1) Check the drain hose behind the washer. Make sure it's not bent or kinked, especially where it goes into the standpipe or laundry sink. It should have a high loop (secured up near the top of the washer back) to prevent siphoning. 2) For a clog, disconnect the hose from the standpipe and from the washer pump if possible. Check for obstructions like socks, coins, or lint plugs. You can also try pouring a bucket of water directly into the washer's drum – if it drains slowly or not at all with the hose disconnected at the pump, the pump itself or its filter is clogged.
If That Didn't Work
If draining seems fine, the washer might be unbalanced and aborting the high-speed spin. Make sure you're not washing a single heavy item (like a rug or blanket) or a very small load. Try redistributing the load manually and restarting the spin cycle.
Heads Up
On some loads, the "Deep Water Wash" option might be accidentally selected, which uses more water and can leave clothes feeling wetter. Make sure that option is turned off for normal loads if you want maximum extraction.
