There is a spin cycle as part of the drying cycle, it is quite normal and is called thermal spin.

Thermal Spin
A thermal spin on the High Heat setting is carried at the start of the of the drying process. The load
is pre-heated to approximately 50°C by the dryer heater with normal tumble action and pump out.
The thermistor located in the wash heater will sense the load temperature and when 50°C is achieved
a 5 minute Spin profile will be carried out at full spin speed.
During thermal spin the out of Balance detection will operate and maximum speed will only be
achieved depending on the out of balance condition.
On completion of the Thermal Spin, the tumble drying process will commence for the period of time
selected.
Thermal spin is NOT available when low heat is selected.
