Beko WEY86052W will not spin when anything is in the machine

[cooltunes42]

Beko washing machine WEY86052W has decided not to spin if there is anything in it. Drum turns slowly if it is set to 1600 rpm, but on a lower setting really doesn’t want to spin at all. I have checked the filter, seems clear. I ran the machine without a load to see if it fills up with water, and then moved it on the to drain and spin cycle – all the water pumped out so don’t think the pumps knackered. Any ideas? A YT video suggested the door locking mechanism? Help!

when you load it have you put enough in to make sure its not out of balance

That may be the issue, though it’s not behaved like this before! Only had a hand-washed jumper in the drum…….

luck

the machine has a threshold. if the item you put in revolves and is evenly distributed around the drum it will spin. if its in a big lump it wont. somewhere in the middle there is a go , nogo point

the computer decides based on power it feeds to the motor
