Washer spins but clothes soaking wet [Electrolux EWX147410W]

Hi,
First post here, I’m trying to find out what’s going on with my washing machine.

I have disassembled my integrated washer/dryer Electrolux machine to try solving the mistery of any spin program that runs after the wash, to properly dry the clothes, because they are all wet.
I have seen many videos and read a lot about washing machines, was hoping to find some sort of clog in a hose/pipe, in the pump, but after taking everything apart I didn’t find any, just a little bit of dirt, but nothing else.
Put everything back together, tried a simple wash with simple load (just a few clothes), and observed the washing process, all fine, no sounds or different behaviour, and it spins fine. However, in the end the clothes were soaking wet still.
Tried just a 15min spin-only program, then it worked! But in the past it hasn’t worked to do that as well.

Any tips/thoughts of what could cause intermittent draining issues? It still seems to me like a possible clog but not sure where to look anymore, I checked every hose of the attached pictures, took the ball out and cleaned it as well, cleaned the dirty reservoir in the back that seems to be related to the drying, not really linked to washing.
It doesn’t seem to be anything electrical or mechanical as the whole process still works fine.

the pumps can fail to start as they wear or did get one with an elastic band around the impellor doing the same thing

So this would be an entire pump replacement the only way to check? Or is there any other way?

you can see the pump impellor at the back of the filter housing. check the impellor. check for anything wrapped around it

start machine on pump out only and watch impeller to see if it starts
