Water remains in tub after spin cycle

Water remains in tub after cycle is finished. It can not be seen as it is below the tub but you can hear it sloshing around as it stops. The tub has a bad odor and I have poured bleach in it and let it sit for awhile, fill tub and then spin it out. Tub smells better after that. Problem is that I know that if I don't do this after every wash that the old dirty/smelly water is mixed in with each new load. Is this normal?

    how old is the washer? there is a pump that should take all the water away after it spins; sometimes it sits there a makes a noise; that is the pump taking the water out. Does it sit there a make a noise and you think it may be stuck or does it just shut off and is finished?

Hi, a small amount of water in the tub is normal, between the inner and outer drum. As long as it's below the inner drum you're ok. If it's a front load this is a common smell. Just make sure you dry the rubber seal and leave the door open a little to allow air to circulate through the washer.

Have you tried to clean the drain hose on the back of the washer? It may have build up inside that you are loosening up by using bleach.

Sounds like water is still in washer when cycle is done

Itā€™s normal for some water to remain. Is this top or front load? Is it spinning water out of clothes?

Kenmore 80 series washer model 110 doesn't fully drain when cycle complete

With the lid open, try to turn tub by hand. If you can you may have a bad clutch. If you hear the washer agitating at the begining of the cycle without any water and filling at the end of the cycle, replace the ATC switch. Try spin cycle and open the lid, if you don't see the tub turning, but hear the motor, check motor coupler, or if it never spins after you close lid, check lid switch. These are the most common solutions to this complaint.

Is it normal to have substantial amount water remaining in the washer after final spin?

Hey friend, thank you for allowing me to assist you!

It is normal to have water in the tub after your Frigidaire washer has completed the final spin cycle. The water that is in the tub is there to help prime the pump. Hope this information is helpful. -Matt

Water sprays into machine on spin cycle

the machine is programmed to spray water during the initial period of the spin cycle as an added method of removing any remaining suds
that stops then the spin cycle goes into high speed spin for that last few minutes
If the problem is that it continues to spray water until the spin cycle is finished it will be the program board or program controller switch

Frigidaire (LTF2940E) Washer starts, stops, starts, stops...

The cycle doesn't advance When the cycle doesn't advance, it's probably the timer or a cold-water supply problem:

  • It's the timer, if your washing machine fills with water and begins agitating, but the timer never advances--or if the washer is in a spin cycle and the timer won't advance. Then you need to replace the timer.


  • It may be a cold-water supply problem, if the washing machine fills with water, agitates, drains, and spins, but then doesn't fill with rinse water. See There's no cold water.
