KitchenAid Washer clothes still wet at the end of cycle
If your KitchenAid washer leaves clothes soaking wet at the end of the cycle, the inner tub may not be spinning fast enough to remove water. The most likely cause is a worn clutch, which spins the tub during the spin cycle. Next, inspect the drive belt for looseness, damage, or breakage. A worn clutch band kit can cause the same problem on applicable top load models. If the transmission engages but the tub spins slowly or not at all, inspect the basket drive for worn clutch pads, stripped spin tube tabs, or a damaged drive block. The hub may also have stripped teeth and fail to engage the spin basket. Finally, a faulty motor control board may not send power to the motor, leaving the washer unable to spin out water. These problems can cause a washer not spinning properly, a washing machine not spinning, or washer clothes still wet after the cycle. Enter your KitchenAid washer's model number to find the exact replacement clutch, belt, basket drive, hub, or motor control board for your specific machine.

Common
04 - KitchenAid 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 - KitchenAid 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 - KitchenAid 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.
