Laundry still wet

Laundry still wet — Imbalance detected, reduced spin speed

Miele · Washing Machines

What does Laundry still wet mean?

The laundry remains wet after the wash cycle because the machine detected an imbalance during the final spin and automatically reduced the spin speed to compensate.

Common Causes

  • Machine detected an imbalance during the final spin cycle.
  • Load consists of too many large items or too few small items, causing poor distribution.

    Check that the machine is correctly leveled.
