Samsung Washer clothes still wet at the end of cycle

When your Samsung washer clothes are still wet at the end of the cycle, the inner tub may not be spinning fast enough to remove water. On many top load models, the most likely cause is a worn clutch, which can prevent the basket from reaching proper spin speed. A broken or loose drive belt is another common reason a washer is not spinning out water. If your model uses one, a worn clutch band kit can produce the same symptom. Less common causes include a damaged basket drive, stripped spin tube tabs or drive block, and worn clutch pads. Inspect the hub as well, since stripped hub teeth can keep the inner tub from spinning even when the transmission engages. Finally, a defective motor control board may fail to provide power to the drive motor. These problems can leave washer clothes soaking wet or cause a washing machine to leave clothes wet at the end of the cycle. Enter your Samsung washer model number to find the exact replacement clutch, drive belt, clutch band kit, basket drive, hub, or motor control board for your specific machine.

Common

04 - Samsung 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 - Samsung 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 - Samsung 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.
