Bosch Washer clothes still wet at the end of cycle
When your Bosch washer leaves clothes still 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, especially on some top load models. A broken or loose drive belt can also prevent the washer from reaching spin speed. If the clutch is worn, the clutch band kit may need replacement when applicable to your model. Less common causes include a damaged basket drive with worn clutch pads, stripped spin tube tabs, or a worn drive block. A stripped hub can also keep the inner tub from spinning even when the transmission engages. If these mechanical parts check out, inspect the motor control board, which supplies power to the motor and can cause the washer not to spin out water when defective. Disconnect power before inspecting or replacing parts, and use your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific Bosch washing machine. Enter the model number to match the correct clutch, drive belt, clutch band kit, basket drive, hub, or motor control board to your washer.

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.
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.
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.
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.
