E-Wave Washer clothes still wet at the end of cycle

When your E-Wave 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 on top load models, because it helps spin the tub. Next, inspect the drive belt for damage, looseness, or signs that it has slipped off the pulleys. A worn clutch band kit can cause the same problem when the model uses one. If the washer is spinning slowly or not spinning at all, inspect the basket drive for worn clutch pads, stripped spin tube tabs, or a damaged drive block. The hub is another common failure point because stripped hub teeth can prevent the inner tub from engaging with the transmission. If these mechanical parts check out, a defective motor control board may not be sending power to the motor. These problems can make a washer not spin out water, leaving washer clothes still wet after the cycle. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement clutch, drive belt, basket drive, hub, or motor control board for your specific E-Wave washing machine.

04 - E-Wave 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.

05 - E-Wave 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 - E-Wave 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.
