Left on 60 degree wash last night and it stopped halfway thru cycle this morning.
Drum will spin by hand with resistance took back off drivebelt was fine so i took motor off bushes seem fine to me with plenty of carbon left on and the water will empty and fill however when i disconnected the spade terminals off the bushes they were burned out.

What would cause this and is it the motor at fault or the bushes?

any help greatly appreciated

Yes the brushes are number one suspect.It is a symptom on this machine to stop on the rinse/spin part of the program indicating the brushes have come to end of their life.
