Danby Washer clothes still wet at the end of cycle

When your Danby 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, which helps spin the tub in some top load washers. A broken or loose drive belt is another common reason for a washer not spinning out water. If applicable to your model, a worn clutch band kit can cause the same problem. Next, inspect the basket drive and hub. Stripped spin tube tabs, a damaged drive block, worn basket drive clutch pads, or worn hub teeth can prevent the inner tub from engaging correctly, leaving washer clothes soaking wet. A defective motor control board is also possible if it has power but does not send power to the motor. Before replacing parts, check for a loose belt and confirm that the tub spins properly during the spin cycle. Whether your washing machine clothes are still wet or your washer clothes are wet at the end of the cycle, enter your Danby washer model number to find the exact replacement clutch, drive belt, clutch band kit, basket drive, hub, or motor control board for your machine.

04 - Danby 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 - Danby 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 - Danby 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.
