The spin performance of you LG Washer can be affected by many factors from load size, objects detected in the agitator, an unleveled washer or the rare mechanical failure.

Reposition laundry in the drum.

Confirm the washer is level.

Check the drum for foreign objects.
Objects suck as coins, zippers, buttons, etc. can become trapped, affecting operation. Remove any visible objects using an appropriate tool such as pliers, tweezers, etc.
