Beko WM74155LW Washing Machine Not turning.

[Twoten]

Whenspin is selected, the pump runs for a few seconds then stops. No motor action.
No motor action on wash.
Motor tests OK and plenty of carbon brush remaining.
Are there any common causes for this if not the motor?

a lot of them have a small board. top of the machine hanging on a plastic frame. only about 4 inches square with one plug on it

check that baord for damage / bad solder joints etc

I think it’s the DC board. I couldn’t see any damage or dry joints.

ok if dc board looks ok check wiring to motor

just like you were able to see field coil, tacho and armature reading with a meter at the motor terminals you should be able to get the same readings from the other end of the cable. have had the odd wire break at the motor plug over the years

can get a diagram if you need one

Thanks Dave,
I did try and bell out the wiring loom but as the wires don’t go to a specific motor plug it was difficult to know what was connected to where. This will make it a lot easier to check.

they also go through the bridge rectifier on the DC board so you cant bell direct to the board

Motor and wiring checked out OK.
Replaced DC Board which resolved the problem.
Thanks for the help.
