A W1215 that will not reach full spin speed is usually not broken. This generation drops its spin when the load sits to one side, and a single heavy item like a bath sheet will do it every time. Distinguishing that behavior from a genuine problem is most of the diagnosis on this model – a machine that refuses to spin any load at all is a different matter, and points at the motor, the brushes or the drain circuit.
