If you are talking about water slopping over the balance ring of the inner tub for maybe half a minute at the 9 o'clock position, that's normal. If it's going over the top of the outer tub and onto the floor, that's a problem. | ||

normal My 608 'Tag has always done that on high water level, I think it simply gets nearly up to speed while the pump works properly, but just not fast enough to get all that water out quickly enough. On MED water level, not an issue. Since my GE ff and my 1-18 behave the exact same at the very start of spinout when fully loaded, I always assumed it's normal. The water stays entirely inside the tub and basket, there's no leaks, it simply rains down on the clothes for the first 1/4 of spinout time.

if it's doing what the other guys have said, running over the balance ring, and flushing the clothes with water........your machine is cleaning itself, thoroughly!
IT'S A GOOD THING!!!!! the machines mentioned---Frigidaires 1-18, GE FilterFlo, and the Maytags...to name a few that do this sort of spin drain......never seem to have a scum build up, mold, musty issue....... | ||

Spin Draining With Perforated Basket Washers This Has often been a problem when the water keeps sloshing over the clothes over and over again your clothing end up filtering out lint and scum from the dirty water that is trying to leave the machine. This can in bad cases leave streaks of lint and scum deposited on dark clothing. On MT DC and Frigidaire 1-18 washers this effect can vary a little depending on the belt adjustment and condition on the MTs and the clutch condition and adjustment on the 1-18s, this is the reason that the 1-18s start pumping out and spinning on the low speed of the motor as it causes less lint redepositing. MT never did much about this problem until they redesigned the tub ring and cover and made it plastic, this design change really helped minimize this problem. It is interesting if you read the MT literature for the NorgeTag models they explain that these models will give you cleaner and better rinsed clothes than there perious machines because the NorgeTags have fewer holes in the wash basket sides and a stronger water pump to pull the dirty water out of the machine faster without sloshing over the tub as they drain.
GE partially solved this problem by changing the hole pattern in the sides of the wash baskets on FF models and Norge washers did a partial drain without spinning which pretty much eliminated this problem of lint redepositing.
The best washers for draining dirty water away from clothing are usually Front Loading machines that tumble as they drain and have large holes in their baskets.
The best TL washers are the machines that neutral drain, which is why when WP introduced the DD washers and tried to save money by making them spin drain they had to go back to the drawing board and figure out a way to make them neutral drain as people were demanding their old machines performance back. When GE changed to the new plastic tub models around 1995 their performance in regard to lint and balance problems almost completely went away. This is why every TL washer ever built that had the ability to neutral drain does so. | ||

Yes it was splashing over the outer tube before I replaced the belts, hoses and lubed motor glides. If I can't figure it out and fix it I can at least run small and medium loads just fine. | ||

just for a test.....take off the main belt to the tranny......fill the empty machine to the largest setting with water......then, set it to SPIN, and TIME IT, the tub should empty in about 60 to 80 seconds, if it is taking longer than that, there might be something blocking or slowing down the flow of water, at that point you might want to start at the outter tub to pump hose, and follow the route to the standpipe/sink to check for build up of lint or something causing the sluggish pumpout....
this link, courtesy of our RedCapetDrew, shows a video of how fast it should pump out with a load.....it starts at 3:55 and the tub is empty by 5:10.....and this is a large capacity machine with a full level of water and clothes... CLICK HERE TO GO TO Yogitunes's LINK | ||

MT Washer leaking when spinning Take the front off the washer and remove the screws that hold the top of the washer down and run the washer this way and see exactly where the water is leaking. The leak likely has nothing to due with how fast the water is leaving the washers tub as these washers can spin all day with the drain pumped blocked and never leak a drop. You likely have a leak around the tub cover gasket or where the water fills through the { U } shaped hose as it wears and gets loose where it attaches to the tub cover.
All MT Helical washers use the same water pump, there was a different motor pulley that was larger in diameter for the pump drive which turned the pump faster which caused a faster and higher lift of water exiting the washer. | ||
