    Hi

    Before I dive out and buy a replacement mt washer dryer has stoped doing its sipn cycle.

    The motor is not getting up to speed. The control knob still turns.

    Is there something I can check . It would be a shame to retire it after 10 years of flawless service

    Thanks

    Dave

    This could be a sludge blockage in the pressure vessel due to no boilwashes carried out or module failure. Unplug power if you are going to have a look yourself, or look at Repairs@ for an engineer to diagnose.

    Turned out to be the module 🙁

    Fortunatly it was just one soldered joint gone that I could repair. 😀

    I’m not sure what the component is but it was raised off the main curcit board with longer ( 15mm ) heat insulated wires. After testing the spin I noted that the component was hot to touch so I guess it had heat affected the soldered joint over the years
