I did solder the PCB tracks and refitted the board to the switch bank and this time loaded the machine with a fully load of wash but still the SPIN did not happen. I have checked that there is no water left in the drum, all the water does get drained during the cycle and the water pump motor...

Hi Henry, Yes the motor does rotate in both direction very slowly, I remember this was how it rinsed the water first before speeding up and in the last 2 mins of the cycle it speeded even faster before stopping completely. I haven't checked the resistance of the motor coils but will do so...

Many thanks Breezer for taking the trouble of drawing the diagram. I managed to get to the tube connection on the drum by opening the front cover and rubber. I disconnected the tube and blowed into the tube and it is clear no blockage. Although wasn't sure what to look for in the chamber (or...

Thanks Breezer, I now know what I am looking for, going to open the machine again and find this switch, is there anything I can do with the switch after I get to it like cleaning etc. Something else I remembered that just before this problem started one afternoon suddenly water leaked out...

Yes, there is that circular unit with 6 wires which is mounted on to top edge right hand side, this unit has a tube that is connecting to what looks like the door lock and some wires. I had a look at this unit and saw that there were 4 small trimmers of which 2 looked like had been...

Thank you all for your advice, I opened the rear cover and had a good look around, first removed the motor control power board, just was looking for the obvious burnt components, everything looked fine. Re-inserted it and plugged the connector back, there was one 3 wired Green and Red...

I removed the old brushes which appeared to be still quite long but decided to replace them with new ones. Tried the Spin setting and still the same problem, no fast spin! Puzzled as to what might cause this behaviour considering the Timer switch is also new replaced 8 months ago. Could...

Thanks Breezer, I will check them out, does it mean that old brushes cannot pass the high current required for fast spin and the motor simply runs slowly instead of not running at all. I will give it a check and report back. Thanks Mike

I have an old 9901 washer drier, we never use the drier, just recently the machine stopped doing the final fast 1000rpm spin, it does spin but very slowly until the end of the cycle. This just happened suddenly, the drain pump works fine and drains all the water perfectly. Any pointers...

I have a 9901P Hotpoint washer/dryer, of late after it finishes the main wash cycle it pumps out all the water, it then fills with water again during the rinse cycle, it then drains out the water and for the final time fills cold water just before the spin cycle, at this point the water just...
