Why Won’t My Samsung Washing Machine Finish Spin Cycle?
If your Samsung washing machine won’t finish spin cycle, it is due to an unbalanced load. You get this problem when you put a very small amount of laundry in the washer.
This problem can also occur if you over-stuff the washer with a heavy load. An unbalanced load makes it hard for the washer to spin properly.
Another reason why your Samsung washing machine won’t finish spin cycle is putting your washer on an uneven surface. It is advised that you put the washer on an even floor to ensure that the machine won’t have any problems when spinning.
Why Is My Samsung Washing Machine Not Doing A Spin Cycle?

Unbalanced Load
If the load in your washing machine isn’t balanced, the drum won’t turn properly. Ensure that the quantity of clothes in the isn’t too big or too small.
Uneven Surface
