Hotpoint Aquarius door lock flashing

[aliferste]

Washing machine just stopped working !

When I try and start a cycle the door lock clicks 6 times and then the light flashes red continuously.

Faulty lock ?

Check motor brushes poss worn , and wiring in door lock that burns out sometimes.

Can you check the brushes without removing the motor ?

 

[rocks1]

Yes. But it's only 2 bolts to remove motor then slides off

Got it off and checked the brushes ! Still a wee bit left but no give at all ! Had the washing machine for 6 years ! Bought new ones anyway to try !

Sound like the culprit ?
