The spin cycle is not draining. Cloths are soaking wet
For model number FWT449GFS2
Hi Jane, thank you for your question. If it is that your appliance is not draining, most of the time the issue is with the drain pump itself. If the issue is that your appliance is not spinning, then the issue might be in your door lock. The spin cycle is used in conjunction with the drain to spin out all the water from clothes and drain it out. We hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hello Yves, thank you for reaching out. Based on the description that you have provided, we would recommend checking suspension ring, part number PS735645, to fix the issue. It supports the outer tub and keeps the tub stable during unbalanced loads. We hope this helps.
This was one of the simpliest repairs I have ever done taking less than 5 minutes to complete. On the inner door I removed the two screws that hold the plastic catch in place. I then removed the broken catch and put the new catch in place. Finally I replaced the two screws that hold the catch in place and it was done.
1. Unplug unit. 2. Unscrew 2 nuts holding top in place in rear of unit using phillips head screwdriver. 3.Slide top back and remove. 4. Open door of washer and unscrew 2 screws holding in door lock unit. 5.Pull out unit from the top and install new unit reconnecting the 3 wire connections.
removed 2 screws and removed top access cover. removed 2 screws and removed front access cover. removed 4 retaining pins (one with nammer and punch because it was stuck) connected lower ends of new shocks with plastic pins, extended each shock to slip fit and connected upper ends to wash tub mounts. Reinstalled panels. I wish I could say that it all went well from there but......when the shocks broke, apparently the hit the motor took was enough to cause an electronic failure of the speed cycle control chip. Now Im waiting for that part.
