Default Washing machine help

My washing machine is 3 years old.
Recently water will stay in the basin after the final spin, leaving the washed clothes soaking wet.
I went underneath and took all the clamps off the hoses, drains and motor. I cleaned it all out, fair bit of build up.
I put it all back together and threw in a towel and it came up wet(enough to twist and rinse water out). But the water build up in the basin no longer is there after each wash.
What can i do to get rid of this soaked clothes? Is there something else I should check?

I have no technical knowledge, but that sounds like a burnt out pump. Repair man perhaps?

Could there be a problem with the timer for the spin cycle? Do you think the water have eventually drained if the spin cycle lasted another few minutes? Does it have the mechanical rotary timer / wash cycle setting control knob? If it's going too fast, each part of the wash cycle might be shortened.

I recently had this problem, and the belt was worn. The repair guy installed a new belt and it now spins fine.

I was expecting a question about your wife/girlfriend.
