Whirlpool Washer

[Biddle34]

I have a Whirlpool washing machine that doesn't spin the clothes dry enough. The water drains, but leaves the clothes soaked. Could this be a belt or even worth fixing?

It definitely does spin??

Could this be a belt?

If whichever washer design you have uses a belt, it might be a possibility. Common to most top-load washer designs (if that's what you have) is just something caught between the tubs hampering its movement during spin.

From what I can see, the model number is LA7780XSN1 or something similar. I am pretty sure on the 7780, the letters are not as clear.

That looks good if it is almond in color, otherwise white would be LA7780XSW1

That is a Whirlpool 'direct drive' washer design (see the following link) so it has no belt to cause problems.

Is the washer actually spinning?

If the tub IS actually spinning but just not fast enough and there is nothing hampering the tub's movement and the washer is draining properly, possibilities for poor spin might include a slipping clutch mechanism or if there is also unusual noises at the time, a cracked motor coupler slipping on the motor or transmission shaft. The latter would usually also affect the agitation as well.
