LG Washer clothes still wet at the end of cycle
When your LG washer clothes are 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 loose or broken drive belt can also prevent the basket from reaching spin speed. Next, inspect the clutch band kit, if your model uses one. Less common causes include a worn basket drive with damaged spin tube tabs, stripped drive block, or worn clutch pads, followed by a damaged hub with stripped teeth. If these mechanical parts are in good condition, the motor control board may not be supplying power to the drive motor. These problems can leave washer clothes soaking wet or cause a washing machine not to spin out water properly. Unplug the washer before inspecting parts, and check for additional symptoms such as unusual noise or a basket that turns slowly. Enter your LG washer model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific machine, including the correct clutch, drive belt, clutch band kit, basket drive, hub, or motor control board.

Highly Likely
03 - LG Washing Machine Clutch Band Kit
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.
Common
04 - LG 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 - LG 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 - LG 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.
