It's possible the belt is wearing out and needs replacing. If all else works great, that's my best guess.

Sounds like your belt is too loose.

I just had mine repaired with the same problem. He replaced two belts on it. (01/07/2010)

RE: Washing Machine Not Spinning Properly

This is not something that you can fix yourself, unless you are an appliance repair person. It could be belts. Or it could be a small part that goes on the motor. Call a repair person. It cost me $100 for the part and the house call, but it was fixed within two hours of making the call to the shop. Small price to pay to have the thing fixed. (01/08/2010)

Our washing machine is not spinning all of the water out of the clothes. We often have to run it through an extra spin cycle to get the rest of the water out.
