I have acquired this tumble with a fault which I have sorted, just lack of maintenance, but I have now found that the small wires at the tiny connectors to the motor are broken. Hotpoint have stated there is nothing they can do, obviously offering an engineers visit, there appear no spares available .

These connections are small, and each has tiny jaws to connect to wires . The only option I can see is to try to solder these connections.

Just wondering if anybody has come across a solution for this fault?

What I have realized is that one of the two connectors has three thin pink wires, two of which are broken. I cannot identify their source location so wondered what sort of result a wrong conection may result in. The guy at Hotpoint was not very forthcoming when I spoke of wiring diagrams.

I will give it a try but I will need the macro on, thanks
 
The wiring connectors are under the drum on the inside of the motor position. All three pink wires are identical, and the stubs show in the lower three holes in the connector. (sorry for the poor quality pics)

To me it would appear that the 2 grey wires go into the longer plug & I doubt which way they go will make any difference & the 2 pink wires go to the spare pins in the other plug & again because there is no way of identifying either wire then it would be ok to connect them either way. Having said that I am just guessing but you have nothing to loose as it cost you nothing & hotpoint would probably just fit a new motor assy.
