1989 Hoover Logic 1300 (A3790) washing machine functions normally through all washing modes but fails to spin in either 500 or 1300 rpm mode. Drum level pot checked & cleaned ok. Motor brushes checked & ok. Could motor be u/s ? or is this a controller fault ie no spin signal ? N.B. this m/c has been frequently serviced (brushes, level pot, heater, de-sludge...etc) over previous 10 - 15 years.

Hoover not spinning

Firstly, thank you for your suggestion. All help is greatfully received.
Microswitch is fitted and is normally closed(?).
Yellow/white and yellow/black wires appear intact, and continuity appears good down to Texas instruments motor speed control board (?) adjacent to motor. Could this board be knackered ?

Those speed control modules just have a number of different resistors which are switched in to get different speeds so if they operate the motor at any stage it usually means they are OK. It could be a timer fault, in which case it may not be cost effective to repair such an elderly appliance.
