Tub fills and agitates normally but fails to spin or advance to full spin speed — worn clutch lining is the most common cause.
Drum rotates during spin cycle but cannot reach full RPM, leaving clothes soaking wet at the end of the cycle.
Grinding, squealing, or clicking sounds when the washer attempts to engage the spin cycle, caused by a glazed or cracked brake lining.
A hot plastic or rubber odor during or after the spin cycle, indicating the clutch lining is slipping excessively and overheating.
Tub does not oscillate during the wash cycle; a failed brake cam driver in the clutch kit can prevent proper agitation engagement.
💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Clutch Lining Worn Out?
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Washer pumps water out but tub won't spin or spins very slowly
⚠️ Loud grinding, squealing, or clicking noise during the spin cycle
⚠️ Burning smell or clutch housing is hot to the touch after a cycle
⚠️ Tub can be turned by hand to force it to start spinning
🔍 Tip from the bench: Lay the washer on its side and inspect the silver clutch housing. If the white brake pads are glazed, worn flat, or missing material, replace this kit immediately — ignoring it accelerates transmission wear and turns a $30 fix into a $200+ repair.
