Beko wm8127w

We have a Beko wm8127w washing machine, it is switching on but nothing is happening. It was ok yesterday. Any ideas as to whats wrong?

when you say nothing is happening what do you mean ?

the lights come on but none for the controls work

the lights come on and i can set a programme and the door locks but thats all

the light come on and i can set a programme but it wont start or lock the door

Hiya, thanks for answering so quickly. The lights are coming on and the programme selected info is there but then nothing else is showing, the door isnt locking either and on pressing the start button to cancel nothing happens. could this be an electrical issue? could it be terminal as of the age of the washer at 11 years, we think it could be.

your machine is old enough to have carbon brushes in the motor. brushes that have failed and no longer touching the motor can cause this fault and this is the first thing to check. Most of the time if you tap the brushes firmly this can make them temporarily make contact again. then try the machine. if it starts change the brushes but dont use it till you do. if it doesnt you will have to remove the brushes to check them

also a failed door lock can cause this problem

if these both fail its starts getting expensive
