Load too wet
Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed?
Select a higher spin speed.
Did you wash a single item or bulky items or have you
overloaded the washer?
A single item, bulky items, or overloading may cause
imbalance. Add items or try to evenly distribute your wet
laundry in the drum, and select a Rinse & Spin cycle. If the
laundry is still wet, take half of the load out of the washer and
run this cycle again.

Did you add detergent to the dispenser?

Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy,
synthetics). Also, sort by color.
