Beko WM1510 not spinning properly

Christampa · 12 Oct 2006

I have a Beko ecocare 1510 that has run very well for just over 12 months. Recently it has started stopping part way through a spin so I checked the bushed. They were fairly worn so I replaced them.
The machine has not improved from this and now it doesn`t turn the drum properly whilst washing either. I seem to get a sort of buzzing noise (like a short circuit) and then the drum will suddenly spin really quickly for a second when it should just be turning slowly as this is the wash stage of the cycle.
The machine is emptying and filling no problem. It wont complete a spin at all now.
Does anyone know why?
Please help.
Unfortunately too skint to buy a new one at moment

Thanks in advance

Check the tacho on the back of the motor.

thanks for that - but how do I test it?? I am fairly electrically minded

Can't really do any tests. Just make sure the magnet isn't cracked or that the whole assembly hasn't dropped off.
The symptoms you describe suggest there's not pulses coming back from the tacho

Once again thanks - Have checked that and OK - Followed a test from another topic checking Ohms across pins and a voltage output on spinning and everything OK.
Whats next to test?

Well if the motors fine and the carbons are fine you're looking at wiring back to the pcb and the pcb itself. Look for burning on the pcb.

I will have a look thanks

Removed PCB after quick check of wires. PCB shows no sign of scortching on either side and no breaks or cracks. Is there any way I can test it?
