Universal Washer clothes still wet at the end of cycle
When your washer clothes are still 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 on many top load washers, followed by a broken or loose drive belt. Inspect the clutch and belt first, then check the clutch band kit if your model uses one. A worn basket drive can prevent the spin tube from engaging fully, while stripped spin tube tabs or a damaged drive block can also keep the tub from reaching spin speed. A worn hub may have stripped teeth and fail to engage the inner tub. If these mechanical parts are in good condition, the motor control board may not be supplying power to the motor correctly. These problems can leave washer clothes soaking wet or cause a washer not to spin out water even though the wash cycle completes. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement clutch, drive belt, clutch band kit, basket drive, hub, or motor control board for your specific washing machine.

Common
04 - Universal 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 - Universal 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 - Universal 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.
