Has anyone any ideas why my WMA40p is not rotating? Motor tries to run up, begins to spin then the motor shuts off after about 1 second. Changed, control panel and brushes tried it with belt disconnected and tried pressure switch but to no avail, any ideas or a wiring diagram please
Cheers
BrianRe: Hotpoint WMA40P wil not run up
if it runs fast for 1 second then stops it will be because the module is not getting a reading from the motor tacho, mounted on rear of motor, may be cracked or more likely a break in the wiring from motor to module.
Power off if investigating.
Re: Hotpoint WMA40P wil not run up
Have a look at the back end of the motor. There is a magnet on the end of the spindle and a coil surrounding it, mounted on the motor casing. This is called a tacho sensor. If the magnet has come loose or the coil windings have broken the electronics will get no motor speed measurements and will shut the motor down.
