Beko not turning, belt OK and resistor

[Monkeyboy44]

Hi all,

The wife left the filter out last week, it ran for about 20mins then stop turning.

The belt is fine, I changed the resistor still no joy.

She lights up and when you press start button, you can hear the motor but it doesn’t spin.

I’ve tried to manual turn drum but it doesn’t move. (can/should you be able to manually)

Any ideas before intake it to the tip?

Thank you

Model number ???

Resistor…….do you mean capacitor?

You should be to turn the drum by hand with moderate force.

Sorry, kids underfoot…

Beko DSV64W

And it was the capacitor..

Apologies

Cheers

Just tried the drum manually, with huge force it moved about 2 inches and made a horrible ‘screeching’ noise!? Could the motor have seized?

could be drum or the motor you need to take off the belt to find out

slipped the belt off…. Manually span the motor and a a dirty old sock fell out!

Wife in doghouse but a result!

Thanks all
