Possible Causes
Small items may have been caught
in pump or between basket and tub,
which can slow draining.
Use a cycle with a low
spin speed.
The washer may be tightly
packed or unbalanced.
Solution
Empty pockets and use garment bags for small items.
Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles
with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/speed spin
for your garment. To remove extra water in the load, select Drain/
Spin. Load may need to be rearranged to allow even distribution
of the load in the basket.
Tightly packed or unbalanced loads may not allow the washer to
spin correctly, leaving the load wetter than normal. Evenly arrange
the wet load for balanced spinning. Select the Drain/Spin cycle to
remove excess water. See "Using Your Washer"
