Beko wmb71624w washing machine no drum movement

[165john]

Our machine stopped working on sunday tripping the circuit breaker
error code e18 displayed, out of balance trip
I have checked the brushes seem ok no visible fault on motor, where or how can i identify wiring to check motor and also circuit board
motor is nearly £150, new machine 229

I have reset the error code and reconnected still no joy
any ideas 🙁 🙁

Think you will find its actually a WMB71642W , reckon the DC motor module may have blown, part number is 2817690100.

Need to check motor & main PCB are good before fitting new DC module.

Thanks for reply
Did visibly check module but no obvious damage, not that means anything
Any ideas for checking motor and pcb. all functions appear to work except drum movement

Most cost effective thing to do is try a DC module first, *current part number used is 2817690100, if that doesn’t cure the problem its normally a P.C.B or P.C.B and motor that is required.
As for testing, we don’t know your knowledge of electronics, but a test meter would be used to test the motor.
Visually you can inspect cable looms, connections, circuit boards, most times there is a visible blown piece of track gone on DC module, quite hard to see sometimes, but normally there is a little black puff of carbon/burn on face of plastic holder of DC module which is a giveaway that something has popped.
