Thread: septic not draining affecting spin cycle?

My question is what exactly triggers it to switch from the low speed to high?

On this model what triggers it is when all the water is done draining out of the machine, the motor clutch pivot assembly senses it and starts to spin at high speed.

The normal drain time for all washers is 90 seconds or less. So if your septic can't take the normal drain flow out of the machine, you'll have troubles with wet clothes at the end of the final spin.

so is the clutch pivot assembly a serviceable part I could replace to see if it helps?

Yes, but is it draining all the water within 90 seconds when it goes into the drain spin cycle?

Whats the model# of your washer?

PAV2300AWW, I think it does drain all the water but alot stays in the line. I have multiple problems maybe. One is that my drain line goes up like 7 feet which may be too high. Also the washer is constantly getting out of balance.

Thanks,

Yea, this issue may be a tough one to solve with the conditions its in as you have it.

Because if the water don't drain within 90 seconds no matter what, nothing will solve the spin dry issue.

I had an intermitant no drian issue on a Maytag Neptune. What finally fixed it was a new drain pump. Replaced good parts to find this out. Pete
