Laundry stays much wetter than expected after the cycle finishes.
A standard washing machine removes water by spinning; it does not heat-dry clothes like a washer-dryer.
A model-specific approach
Identify whether the appliance uses spin extraction only or also has a heated drying function, then inspect the relevant stage.
The exact model and operating conditions determine which tests apply. These are possible inspection directions, not a list of components that must be changed.
Share the model and explain whether you mean wet clothes after spin or failure of a separate dry programme.
Record the timing, previous work and accessible model label. Do not remove covers or handle live, refrigerant or pressurised components to obtain information.
Completion
The result should be judged against the appliance's actual drying capability and selected programme.
Discuss which operation was checked and what to observe during normal use. Keep the service date, model and work description if you need to report the symptom again.

Usually it removes water by spinning. A separate heated dry function exists only on models designed for it.
Spin extraction does not produce fully dry laundry. The result depends on fabric, load and the selected spin programme.
They are separate functions. Confirm whether the appliance is a standard washer or a combined washer-dryer.
Yes. A drainage problem can prevent effective spin extraction and should be investigated first.
Yes. Share the model and whether the wash and spin stages finish before the drying complaint begins.
Some programmes use lower spin or different drying limits. Follow the exact model’s guidance.
No. Overloading can reduce performance. Respect the separate washing and drying capacities where specified.
Model support and relevant parts need confirmation before committing to that work.
Explain whether the result changed from usual under the same programme, load and settings.
Judge the function the appliance actually provides: spin extraction or a supported heated drying programme.
