I haven't got a Siemens machine (mine is a Bosch washer) but I have
noticed on rare occasions that whatever is in the machine is still
sopping wet at the end of the programme.Â* If that happens I select
"Rinse and Spin" and it does another rinse then a spin and everything
comes out spun dry.

The Bosch machine has a Rinse Hold capability and I have a suspicion
that perhaps this can be accidentally set by someone brushing past the
programme modification buttons during the wash cycle, though I have
never investigated this.

I did do a quick look at the Siemens write-up for the model you quote
and I found "If (Rinse stop = without final drain/spin cycle) was
selected, press Start/Reload button to start the final drain/spin
cycle". So it is vaguely possible that your wash may have accidentally
been started with Rinse stop, in which case the above advice might fix
it.

Alternatively, you may genuinely have a fault.Â* I leave you to decide
whether to experiment a bit first or whether to get it looked at under
guarantee straight away.

The other (fixable) thing which leaves you with wet sheets is a pound
coin in the impeller of the drain pump. Sensors tell it that draining
has failed and that locks out the spin cycle.


Machines usually raise an alarm and indicate a fault for something like
that though.
