- Spin cycle will not turn on but rinse will work resulting in a basket of soaking wet clothes. The motor must then be reset to enable the spin cycle. It is possibly due to imbalances in the load.

Machines do shut off on load unbalanced spin cycles to prevent them from inertial induced damage/movement. I cannot speak to this models functions and features - but most modern washers have adjustable spin settings - this model with off/normal/more/max - but my washer has a 'low spin' when set on sheets/bedding - as these items commonly have inertial induced spin issues. The submitter has indicated this is the likely cause and suggested fixes are 'few' other than read the owners manual and operate the machine within the expected parameters - as well as ensuring loads don't have fabric which could produce these problems - and if so, check washer periodically to make sure it hasn't shut off - many have 'chimes' that indicate a failure - stay within earshot.
