Washing machine drum not revolving.
I have a tricity bendix caw 811 washing machine.
On xmas eve it developed a fault where it sounded like it was working
correctly, but the drum did not revolve.
It fills and drains, makes all the correct noises, but the drum does
not move.
I can move the drum easily by hand.
What are the possible causes of this?
If it was a Hoover I would check the following:
Does the motor use a drive belt to turn the drum and has this come off or
broken?
I don't think this has every happened to me but is a theoretical possibility
Do the bushes in the main motor need replacing?
I typically have to do this after 6-10 years ownership.
