The drum spins back and forth but it wont finish spinning fast enough to get the water out of the clothes. The drum is not full of water so I can open the door, but the clothes are sopping wet.
Aw1001W. My washer fills up with water but then turns at full speed and cuts out. What to do please.

Machine switches on, water enters drum, drum doesnt turn. If you move program on, machine wont spin but will drain. What would be wrong?

Useful info. I had a problem with mine not getting up to speed. I removed the brushes but they weren't all that worn. I put it back together and it worked again.

Motor is not reaching full spin speed.
Check out the carbon brushes in the motor. Theyre graphite blocks which transfer mains power to the copper segments of the motor - located at the other end of the motor from the drive pulley. Theyre probably worn down. They're quite cheap parts and easy to replace - the holders are plastic or bakelite and are generally held in with screws or plastic clips. Also, look at the copper segments they run on to check for burning or pitting. If the segments are burnt or damaged you need a replacement motor or a replacement armature (motor part) if you can source one. Occasionally may be a fault in the motor drive circuit board - in which case replacement of board only real option.
