My jeans cycle limits final spin speed to medium and for my machine that's about 800 rpm and I find it very satisfactory. It's been my experience that if it's set for fastest spin speed, it's more temperamental balancing for final spin. I've discovered when it's a huge load of all sweats or all slacks, it will begin to ramp up to a higher spin speed and then back down to a slower spin speed and finish the cycle. It seems to have the most difficulty with loads that have nothing but garments with legs and long sleeves. They can get intertwined like on a unimatic. The only thing I use highest spin speed on is towels, underwear, and sweats. I opt. for slower spin speeds for cotton sheets (they aren't that heavy in comparison) and all forms of clothing. Personally I disagree with Normal/Casual default at fastest spin speed. Kinda dumb if it's intended for mixed loads of various types of fabrics. Usually set it for medium. The machine is sensing something in the lad balance and is "protecting" itself. I only wash 3 or 4 pairs of jeans at a time, but like I said, medium spin speed and it does fine. My jeans cycle is delicate but with interim spins. |

So I ran a diagnostic with it empty, and it never reached full speed at all. It kept doing the same thing even on the diagnostic cycle. |

The part which still puzzles me is that our machine has gone into spin sometimes where the load is very off balance and it does not react this quickly at all. Usually when it reaches about 900RPM is when it starts making adjustments. |

Did another load today, and it acted the same way, after 3 attempts of balancing during the final spin the cycle just ended. Looks like i'm going to be visiting the pump trap. Pictures to come. |

With the back panel off, we meet our old friend, the pump filter.
