Answer

Hi Frank. All water should be drained out within 90 seconds once the spin cycle begins. If you still have water remaining in the washer after 90 seconds you have a issue with the pump. Look for anything on the hoses or pumps not allowing the water to flow out freely. If all water is drained within 90 seconds, make sure the rollers and springs for the motor base are gliding back and forth freely. This is what maintains the correct tension on the belts for this unit. Hope this helps!
