Samsung WF45T6200 washer won’t drain properly

My Samsung WF45T6200 front-load washer stops at the spin cycle and doesn't drain well. Clothes come out really wet. This started after I washed a big blanket. I checked the drain filter and hoses. No clogs, and no error codes either. Has anyone had this problem before? How to get this fixed? Thanks
 
Since you've checked the filter and hoses, the issue is likely either a failing drain pump or a problem with the machine's balance sensors.
There might be enough clog to keep the washer from draining fast enough for a proper spin, so the unbalance sensor kicks in and stops the cycle to protect the machine.
Another possibility is that the heavy, waterlogged blanket threw the drum so far off balance that the machine's suspension couldn't correct it.
This also makes the unbalance sensor stop the spin cycle.
Try running a single-item spin cycle with a few towels.
If it works, the issue is likely a sensor being too sensitive. If not, it's almost certainly the drain pump.
 
My sis had that issue with their Samsung too. The weight of the blanket might have messed with the sensor or balance. Did you try running a spin-only cycle with nothing inside to see if it drains normally?
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but I feel like that's a common issue after washing bulky stuff. Try running a rinse and spin cycle with no load to see if it completes. If it still stops, then the drain pump may be weak

Yh I agree, blanket probably threw off the sensor, you can try a diagnostic mode, for samsung it's usually holding temp, then delay Start for 3 seconds that might show hidden error codes. If nothing else works, might need to call a tech
