Spin phase not operating / Cycle longer

Spin phase not operating or cycle too long — Unbalanced load or drain issue

What does Spin phase not operating / Cycle longer mean?

The Washing Machine is either not performing the spin cycle or the overall washing cycle is taking an unusually long time. This can be caused by problems with draining or an unbalanced load in the drum.
