We've got a Hoover AE230 Quattro machine. The tub motor is no longer
turning the tub.

I've had the motor off and had our sparkies at work check it out. There
are no bush problems and the field windings etc are intact. The rest of
the machine functions are OK as well - it fills and pumps but the drum -
he no turn.

There was a suggestion that it may be the motor capacitor, but having
taken off a large cap (with five leads - two blue, two brown and an
earth) and tried to match it up with any of the ones on the various web
sites (espares etc), I can't see anything like a match. I was wondering
if this was only a mains filter cap?

Has anyone got any suggestions before I give up and ring Washing Machine
Repairman?
