Spin Cycle Leaves Clothes Wet

[macman35]

Bosch Maxx WFL 2450GB: when used on normal programmes (usually 40C Easy Care) the spin cycles leaves washing very wet. I have to run a separate spin cycle to get it acceptably dry.
Machine has had a new pump, door seal and motor brushes in the last five years. I have checked the pump filter and drain hose; no visible obstructions.
I’d guessing that the tub is not draining fast enough to allow the spin speed to reach maximum (I’m ruling out a motor or belt issue, since the spin speed seems OK when run as a separate cycle with no drain-out required?
What else could this be? Pressure switch fault or pressure system blockage maybe? Pump beginning to fail? Imbalance limiter fault?
I should add that the fault is intermittent at present, I’d say it happens 2 times out of 3-but the 3rd time the washing is spun sufficently.

Easy care only spins to 800rpm.

But I’ve used the machine many times on that programme without this issue. It’s not specific to any one programme.

Sock stuck in the sump hose? Pump knackered (lateral play in impellor)? Motor arcing?
