Well, the velocity on the spin cycle just isn't cutting it. Clothes are coming out too wet. This machine is a Hotpoint and is probably 20+ years old. I would like to try a few things to fix it myself. Where should I start? I have the tools and some mechanical knowledge, but have never worked on a washing machine. Couldn't find a model number...I'll give it a closer look.

Thanks for the reply Drags. Well, I disconnected everything and flipped the washer on its side. Quick inspection revealed a belt in very bad condition.;) I can't believe the washer was even operable! The belt had at least 3'' of travel. The motor was already adjusted all the way out. I just ordered a new belt on the internet. Should be here within a couple business days. I'm pretty certain this will fix the problem, but I'll post again to confirm.:)
