spins but clothes are still soaking wet.

I'm having the same problem also with Kenmore 70 series washer, with the addition of small specs of soap particles left on clothing.

I would also add I'm having a loud clacking sound during the spin cycle and washer has overflowed intermittently during the start.

I replaced lid switch and water pump thinking that would take care of it, but still having these problems.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a new installation? Other set up problems may be the cause if it is.

Cause 1

Drain Pump

Sometimes, small objects or articles of clothing can get caught in the drain pump. To determine if anything is blocking the drain pump, remove the drain pump and check the pump for obstructions. If the drain pump is clear of obstructions, but is still noisy during the drain cycle, replace the drain pump.

Cause 2

Clogged Pump or Hose

Sometimes, socks and other small articles of clothing can get into the drain system and clog the pump hose or the pump itself. Remove the hoses from the pump and check for any obstructions.

No not new installation, washer is 15+ years old. It's not the pump on mine, I checked it and replaced it since it wasn't moving smoothly.

I'd go for a clogged hose now.
