Laundry still wet

Laundry still wet — Spin cycle reduced due to imbalance

Miele · W1 Washing Machines

What does Laundry still wet mean?

After a wash programme, the laundry remains excessively wet, indicating that the final spin cycle was not performed effectively. The machine's imbalance detection system automatically reduced the spin speed to protect the appliance.

Common Causes

  • The machine detected an imbalance during the final spin cycle.
  • Only large or only small items were included in the load, leading to poor distribution.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Remove some items if the machine is overloaded, or redistribute the existing load evenly in the drum.

  2. 2

    For future washes, try to include a mix of both large and small items in the load to ensure better distribution during spinning.

  3. 3

    Select a higher spin speed setting if available and suitable for the fabric type.

  4. 4

    If the issue persists with balanced loads, check that the machine is level.
