Magic Chef Washer clothes still wet at the end of cycle
If your Magic Chef washer leaves clothes wet at the end of the cycle, the inner tub may not be spinning fast enough to remove water. A worn washing machine clutch is the most likely cause, especially on top-load models, because it helps the basket reach spin speed. A broken or loose drive belt can also prevent the basket from spinning properly, leaving washer clothes soaking wet. If your model uses one, inspect the clutch band kit for wear. Next, check the basket drive for worn clutch pads, stripped spin tube tabs, or a damaged drive block. A worn hub can also fail to engage the inner tub, causing the washer not to spin out water even when the transmission is operating. If these mechanical parts check out, inspect the motor control board for burned components and verify that it sends power to the motor. Unplug the washer before testing or replacing parts, and use your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific Magic Chef washing machine. These checks can help pinpoint why your washer clothes are wet at the end of the cycle.

03 - Magic Chef Washing Machine Clutch Band Kit
Some top load washers use a clutch to spin the inner tub. If the clutch gets worn the clothes may come out wet. You can fix the problem you can install a new clutch band kit, if applicable to the model.
Common
04 - Magic Chef Washing Machine Basket Drive
The basket drive sits on top of the transmission and engages with the inner tub. If the transmission is engaging to spin, and the outer tub spins slowly or does not spin at all, the spin tube tabs may be stripped. Alternatively, the drive block on the spin tube may be stripped. Inspect both the spin tube tabs and the drive block. If the spin tube tabs and drive block are not worn out, the clutch pads on the basket drive are likely worn out. If the clutch pads are worn out, you must replace the basket drive.
Common
05 - Magic Chef Washing Machine Hub
The hub is seated on top of the transmission and engages with the inner tub. If the transmission is engaged to spin, and the outer tub spins slowly or does not spin at all, the hub teeth may be stripped. Inspect the hub for damage or wear and replace if necessary.
Common
06 - Magic Chef Washing Machine Motor Control Board
The motor control board provides power to the motor. If the motor control board is defective, the washer may not function properly or may not work at all. First, check the control board for burned out components. To determine if the motor control board is defective, ensure that the control board is providing power to the motor. If the control board has power, but is not providing power to the motor, replace it.
