    hi, have just fitted carbons to a siemens WK61420GB13 washerdryer, spins now, but wont go to full speed spin, ramps up, goes to a point then slows, stops and then goes again. Its the complete endframe thats been replaced as per siemens website, the motor checks out all ok when tested with a meter. any ideas ???

    On some models when you select ‘spin only’ it will only ramp up and spin at 800rpm and will not go to any other faster speed. So I’m not sure if that is your observation in this case? Also an earth leak to the heater element will create spin problems on some models too…worth checking that out while you’re there I reckon. 😉
