Speed Queen Washer clothes still wet at the end of cycle

When your Speed Queen washer leaves clothes 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. Inspect the clutch for wear and replace it if it cannot engage the spin basket properly. A broken or loose drive belt can also cause a washer not spinning out water, so check its condition and tension on the pulleys. If applicable to your model, a worn clutch band kit can produce the same washer clothes still wet symptom. Other common causes include a damaged basket drive, stripped spin tube tabs, a worn drive block, or stripped teeth on the hub. If the mechanical parts check out, inspect the motor control board for burned components and verify that it sends power to the motor. These failures can leave washing machine clothes still wet or soaking wet after the cycle. Enter your Speed Queen washer model number to find the exact replacement clutch, belt, clutch band kit, basket drive, hub, or motor control board for your specific machine.

04 - Speed Queen 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 - Speed Queen 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.

06 - Speed Queen 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.
