This machine is about 12 months old and i feel has never been that good at getting water out of clothes even on a 1400 spin.

Even after a wash cycle you have to give it a second spin when its finished.

We have checked the filter and that isn't blocked.

What we did do today when they came out sopping wet even after a couple of spins was turn the power off as if to do a reset and that seemed to help. Any help or advice on this is appreciated.

Beko Wmb81445Lw poor spin drying leaving clothes wet

The problem
A Beko Wmb81445Lw, about 12 months old, was leaving clothes very wet after the wash and even after spin cycles, despite a 1400 spin setting. The filter had already been checked and was not blocked. The user also noted that switching the power off as a reset seemed to help once.
Likely cause
The strongest diagnosis in the discussion was a partial blockage restricting water flow during draining, possibly in the drain path such as the spigot between the drain hose and the u-bend. Another possible cause suggested was poor load balancing preventing the machine reaching full spin speed, but this was not confirmed.
What fixed it
Recommended action was to check for partial or intermittent blockages in the drain system, including less obvious points such as the u-bend spigot, and to review loading to ensure the machine can balance properly on spin. No specific repair was confirmed in the thread.
Checks to try
  • Filter checked and reported clear
  • Observed clothes still very wet after wash and after additional spin cycles
  • Power cycled/reset once and this appeared to help
  • Advice given to check for partial drain blockages including the u-bend spigot
  • Advice given to consider whether load balancing was affecting spin performance

Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

1400 spin should be perfectly good at spin drying laundry although some washers may well be better than others even with the same spin speed. The only things that are likely to reduce spin drying performance are if there was some partial blockage somewhere reducing the flow of water out from the pump just enough to cause problems such as in the plastic spigot between the drain hose and the u-bend. Hotpoint washing machines used to do that because they had a hidden filter inside the sump hose leading to the pump which became bunged up with lint.

Another possible issue could be if the washer isn't balancing the loads properly, which can stop it reaching full speed or cause it to reduce the time it spins. However it shouldn't cause problems every time unless you somehow put bad loads in all the time. Just check this article in case - Loading a washing machine

These two articles may help in checking for blockages, partial blockages or intermittent ones can be tricky to find. The second article covers possible obstructions not easy to find such as in the u-bend spigot -

I can't say with any certainty that your problems are caused by such a blockage, only that it's one possibility.
