Kelvinator Washer clothes still wet at the end of cycle
When your Kelvinator 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. Next, inspect the drive belt for looseness or damage, since a broken or slipping belt can prevent proper spin. If your washer still has a clutch, the clutch band kit may also be worn. Other possible causes include a damaged basket drive with worn clutch pads, stripped spin tube tabs or drive block, and a worn hub with damaged teeth. If the mechanical parts check out, inspect the motor control board. This board supplies power to the drive motor, so a failed board can cause a washer not spinning or a washer not spinning out water. Before replacing parts, check that the load is balanced and that the washer completes the drain portion of the cycle. Enter your Kelvinator washer 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 - Kelvinator 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 - Kelvinator 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 - Kelvinator 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.
