Newbie here .
Hi I've got a 7 year old Zanussi washer/dryer that has stopped spinning. My wife heard a bang come from the machine whilst in a cycle when it stopped.
The machine powers up and will run through the cycles filling and emptying without turning the drum. There is a sound that comes from the machine that sounds like the motors running (haven't had it running with the back off yet)
The drive belt is on and when turned the drum and motor spin freely without any noise or roughness.
There does appear to be a black deposit around the contacts of the heating element, surrounding cables and the adjacent back of the machine, not sure if it is deposit from belt wear or an electrical flash.
Took the element out and checked all wiring and connections which seem ok
Is there anything else that would be an easy check before looking at the motor brushes. I've looked through all the previous questions and not seen anything similar with the associated bang
Breezer looks like the man! Dont't let me down lol
Cheers and great forum
