During spin, When spin timer comes down to 8 mins, clock jumps down to 1 min.

But does it spin?

And, you may find most modern machines do this if the anti-balance is tripped, as in, there’s an uneven load in the machine.

Insulation problem with the motor I expect.

So I have the same problem with my Bosch WFO2864GB/01 : wash is fine, spin cycle goes from 11->8mins ok but DOES NOT get up to full spin speed. It then jumps from 8->1min and finishes. When it is empty it spins faster and goes until 7 mins before finishing.

Suspect the balance as I can see the out drum moving quite a lot when it trying to get to speed.

I changed the motor brushes over the weekend and (for various reasons) removed and cleaned all the out flow plumbing (drain sump, pressure chamber & hose (not sensor), pump filter, container return. What could I have effected to cause the in-balance?

@martin: what do you mean by motor insulation?

TIA.

Its insulation resistance to earth is poor.

So my problem as gone now. The motor is spinning to full speed now. I suspect that I had not cleaned up the armature properly and carbon dust from the brushes was partially shorting the windings. This sort-of fits with Martin’s coments too?
