    Evenin’all, was a bit surprised with this one. Leant it back expecting it to be a Whirlpool style linkage gone awol but find a belt and 3 pulleys 😯 .Motor works on spin, lid switch fine, belt on and centre (PUK) pulley turns but no spin. Underneath the centre pulley, what looked like a plastic cover was in bits but no oil leaks and everything mint inside. Any common/ likely faults which would cause no spin??

    Cheers in advance.

    assuming the whole tub and gearbox can be turned by hand then, there is the thrust washer which is under the gearbox pulley and is part number 12002213 would also change the snubber part number 21002026 do a search here for snubber and you should find out how to change it, its not hard just do not undo the screws around it all the way. It is a full strip down of the machine though, which is not difficult and probably easier than the whirlpool t/l. Hardest part is re fitting the support springs without the special tool but it can be done.

    video may help

    luckily the wife had some in the larder… The snubber forms the bearing that the gearbox and drive kind of tilts on, wont stop it spinning as such but wont spin fully if its worn. Often see bits of white plastic hanging out where its broke up. No need for the longer screws as in the video, just make sure you don’t release the existing ones too far-just enough to slide the new snubber in. If its not spinning at all then suspect the thrust washer is a more likely culprit
