Candy Grand 482/2-80 not working

[slamdunker]

As above, machine shows no fault code via flashing lights, allows water into the drum as per usual, and then that is it, nothing after that.
My wife says it has worked on "hand wash" once since this fault started. Pump works as it should, so the machine will drain. Haven't yet seen the drum moving since she decided to tell me it wasn't working.
With an empty machine I've noticed any water introduced seems to drain slowly away, presumably by some siphoning action as I can't hear the pump running.
I haven't been able to tell if there has been any heating of the water going on or not yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does it have a spin only function & if so what happens when you select it?

Hi, it does have spin only function, but that doesn't work at all either

You could try checking the main motor brushes, if it has them. They should be more than 10mm & free to move in & out of their holders under spring pressure.

Thanks, I'll have a look. Cheers

Looks like that might be it, thanks, when removed they are right at the end of their life, I'll stick a new set on a nd see if that does it.

Try to clean any carbon dust from he commutator ( the round thing with copper segments ) with a clean brush before fitting the new brushes.

I have some electrical contact cleaner spray somewhere, I'll give it a blast with that, cheers.
