RCA Washer clothes still wet at the end of cycle
If your RCA washer leaves clothes still wet at the end of the cycle, the inner tub may not be spinning fast enough to remove water. On many top load models, the most likely cause is a worn clutch, followed by a broken or loose drive belt. A worn clutch band kit can also prevent the basket from reaching spin speed. If those parts check out, inspect the basket drive for stripped spin tube tabs, a damaged drive block, or worn clutch pads, then check the hub for stripped teeth that keep it from engaging the inner tub. A defective motor control board is less common but can stop the washer from powering the motor correctly. These problems can cause a washer not to spin out water, leaving washer clothes soaking wet even though the wash cycle finishes. Unplug the machine before inspecting moving parts, and use a multimeter or service information when testing the motor control board. Enter your RCA 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 - RCA 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 - RCA 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 - RCA 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.
