Faulty Hotpoint WMA76 washing machine

[rickity]

My washing machine will not spin. I have tried the manuals suggestion by removing the washing to see if the fail safe switch resets. Any ideas?

Won't turn the drum at all, or it's only failing on the spin cycle ?

First repair - change the brushes in the motor

I stripped mine after the main spin started to stutter and fail. Could not find the dam brushes. Took a couple of photo's of the motor and took it to a repair friend. He said it is a new electronic motor of some sort and it does not have brushes, it has a electronic control unit.. Had a look round that for dry joints, but gave up and picked up a new one for about £170 is Tesco I think...

That's also typical of a broken conductor in the wiring harness to the motor or a connector on the motor.

Does the drum just turn when it should be spinning? If so it could be the motor control board.
