Montgomery Wards Washer clothes still wet at the end of cycle
When your Montgomery Wards washer leaves clothes soaking wet at the end of the cycle, the inner tub may not be spinning fast enough to remove water. A worn clutch is the most likely cause, especially in a top-load washer. Next, inspect the drive belt for signs it is broken, loose, or slipping on the pulleys. If the belt is in good condition, the clutch band kit may be worn and require replacement on applicable models. A damaged basket drive can also prevent the tub from reaching spin speed. Check the spin tube tabs, drive block, and basket drive clutch pads for wear. The hub is another common cause when its teeth are stripped and the tub spins slowly or not at all. Finally, a faulty motor control board may fail to provide power to the motor, leaving the washer not spinning out water. These problems can cause a washer with clothes still wet or a washing machine with clothes wet at the end of the cycle. Enter your model number to find the exact clutch, belt, hub, basket drive, or motor control board for your specific machine.

Common
04 - Montgomery Wards 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 - Montgomery Wards 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 - Montgomery Wards 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.
