Wife said the clothes were coming out sapling wet. I figured clogged drain. Drain hose was fine so I thought maybe the pump was clogged. Opened the pump and it seemed fine. Put it all back together, now it leaks. Fuck me.

Had a similar issue (drenched clothes at end of cycle) once, something got off timing and the machine was trying to rinse after the final spin. Forcing a final spin on another wash cycle kind of kicked it back into time.

Also, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen the washer on the right, dryer on the left. Just felt compelled to mention that.

Our 5 year old front loader started making holes in jeans so we pitched it and bought a top loader.

Time for a trip to Lowe’s or Home Depot for a new washer?

When I was selling washers the number one reason the clothes were coming out wet was lack of spin speed due to a dying motor.

i’d rather spend like $50 to replace a pump or whatever BS it is than 10x that for a new one

interesting, the thing occasionally would make some pretty fucked up noises, i thought it was from being unevenly loaded. it would thump pretty crazy

I’ve done a pump, that’s not that hard. My feeling from your description is that it’s more terminal than an easy part swap out.

Rolling the control dial around to a final “spin” cycle manually (without running through the whole rinse/wash/agitate stuff) and starting the machine. It ran it’s final spin/drain, and ended the cycle. That seemed to get it back into timing so it didn’t run a rinse at the very end of a wash.

did you have to do that every load?

well from my 5 minutes of research, its either a a pump issue on the electrical side, the lid open/close switch, or the spin motor. all of those can be replaced. i think the leak can be resolved with a little silicone gasket lube

Once I forced a final spin, the machine seems to “reset” itself back to normal (no unscheduled rinse at end of wash cycle).

My machine has done it three or four times in the past few years. I’m a cheapskate, so the spin “reset” procedure beats the hell out of a washer price, as far as I’m concerned (even though I know it’s coming down the pipe eventually).
