Hi all,
I have an indesit w123 and the other day it stopped working. When you put it on a cycle it fills up okay but when the drum tries to turn there is either just a humming noise that comes from the motor and the drum doesn\\\'t move, or the drum will spin fast for a few seconds like it is on a spin cycle. I tried replacing the brushes but the same thing happens and the old brushes didn\\\'t look that bad either anyway. I have also tried working the machine on just a spin cycle, everything seemed to be fine at first, but there is a bit of sparking from the motor and the next thing there was a noise from the motor as if it arced and the fuse box tripped.
I\\\'m not really in a position to buy a new machine , but am able to replace parts myself if I can find out what is wrong and don\\\'t want to spend money on parts that I don\\\'t need again, so any help would be greatly appreciated
