My neighbour's Hotpoint washing machine spinner

It isn't working, and then when she tries 20 minutes later
it works fine.
I looked at the belt, and that looked OK.

Any idea what is likely to be the problem?

Describe "isn't working" in a lot more detail.
Exactly what happens?

Also, what's the spin speed? (Things work differently
on the high spin speed models.)
If it's a high spin speed model, does spin work at the
lower speeds (or conversely, only at high speeds)?
