Have a AWE 8828 which performs all the washing programs fine, pumps/drains and everything works well until its shall start spinning up to spin-dry. Motor is running slowly, pumping works, but only a quiet whine from motor (it hears like it is trying to accelerate, but it will not!). Then it stops, start pumping again and the same motor sound appears. The time-display counts down, but 1 minute on display lasts 4 minutes in real. When it reaches 1 minute everything is quiet and motor starts running periodically (every approx. 10 sec) for 1 second. I hear the tumble moves a little, 1 sec (clothes are “falling” inside the tumble). Then after 10 (approx.) such “tries”, display shows End.
Any ideas? The washer is more than 5 years, but has been very little in use. No fault codes.
Re: AWE 8828 will not spin up after washing
Then the possibilities are:
The water level control air chamber is gunged up?
The heater is faulty?
OR, the motor or motor brushes are at fault?Re: AWE 8828 will not spin up after washing
Why should the heater have influence on spinning up? The maschine should not heat during spinning. All wash programs work with correct water temperature.
Why should the motor or brushes be at fault when all wash programs work and the tumble rotates as foreseen during washing?
Where is the water level air chamber located?
Re: AWE 8828 will not spin up after washing
Questions, questions, questions 😉
1) An earth leak on the heater affects the microprocessor and that in turn can prevent the motor from spinning. Check the heater.2) If the brushes are worn that damages the commutator allowing the motor to draw more current. That affects that microprocessor again which thinks the load is unbalanced the result of which means it tries 3 or 4 times to spin then gives up and times out. Check the motor and brushes.
3) Attached to the bottom of the tub.
