Faulty Hotpoint WMA76 washing machine
My washing machine will not spin. I have tried the manuals suggestion
by removing the washing to see if the fail safe switch resets. Any ideas? |

Could not find the dam brushes. Took a couple of photo's of the motor and took it to a repair friend. He said it is a new electronic motor of some sort and it does not have brushes, it has a electronic control unit.. Had a look round that for dry joints, but gave up and picked up a new one for about £170 is Tesco I think... |
