Washing machine drum wont turn, machine will fill up and empty.removed back of machine the motor is not running. I removed and checked brushes they were fine. If you put a neon screwdriver on the brush terminal with the machine in spill cycle the screwdtiver lights on both brushes showing ther is no neutral. Is it a case that the one wire has gone open circuit and getting its live through the motor? Do you think it could be a circuit board fault? Thanks in advance for your help.

I would not rely on a neon screwdriver to come to that conclusion. Try a multimeter.

there is a thermal overload in the motor.
it could be that or the main pcb

Hi thanks for feedback can you reset the thermal overload?I take it the pcb is the main circuit board? Would that cost more than the the machine is worth to replace? (i think machine is about 2 years old)
