Front loading washer - water is not spinning out, clothes are sopping wet

Possibly a blockage in 1 of the outlet pipes or pump causing water not to drain out properly.

I think I have the same type of washing machine as you do. Wash is when all the clothes get agitated or mixed with soap and water (ever look in there when its washing? the water can get pretty gross looking!) So in my washer, the rinse cycle is when all that gross water is drained, and the washer spins while spraying clean water over the clothes to get rid of the dirty water and soap. I think mine does this 5 or 6 times in the cycle. Next is the spin cycle, which is when the washer spins REALLY fast to **** as much water out of the clothes as possible, so that the clothes aren't sopping wet when you put them in the dryer.

It sounds like your mom has a newer washing machine, probably a front load one, and they do seem to keep using clean water, instead of just agitating the clothes in dirty water.

if there is water standing in your washer your pump is clogged clear it out and will correct the problem ; if there is no water in the machine when you complete the cycle but the clothes are wet it did not spin more than likely your door switch is probably bad replace it

your drain pump is probably clogged or the main drian hose is kinked

hi
the water is not moving outside,,it is the problem of outlet valve..check it

thank u,,//please rate it

you can remove the bottom access panel to get to the drain pump. there might be something in the coin trap.

Check the drain hose for kinks or blockage. The drain hose should be free in the drain pipe so air can get around it. The drain should be good enough to accept a lot of water all of a sudden without overflowing.

The washer will not ever completely drain according to Maytag. A certain amount of water stays in the outter tub for balancing the machine for final hyper-spin. However if the machine is not spinning all of the water out and your clothes come out sopping wet....read the long thread I typed out to another person earlier.....it's about 2-3 questions up on the same topic

You are having a door switch problem change it out and you will have a new washing machine.
