Hi All

I am new to this forum and have a question regarding my Candy Sprint 1200 Washing machine.

it never seems to complete a cycle sticks half way through,if I move teh dial it starts Ok but then sticks at another point, another thing it does is sometimes just fills and fills and fills with hot water until i stop it and spin it out but at teh moment it is just sticking at programs, I have hot and cold water conected in and have cleaned the filter.

Many thanks in advance
regards

Re: Candy Sprint 1200 HELP

Hi All,

I have just done a test on the Candy and this is what it is doing….

Goes through the cycles Ok fills up and also drains BUT the drum will not rotate on any program.
Reading the other like posts suggest that it might be the bushes? if so where do these go the motor is under the drum are they the standard bushes you get on the comutator?
Any info on how to replace these would be appreciated.

Thanks

Re: Candy Sprint 1200

This sounds more like a problem with the water level control system to me. Overfilling is defo water level – motor action is also linked to water level system.

Could be programme control, but check above first.

Power off if going inside……….

hi
Many thanks for your response.
regarding the water level it only does that sometimes, very rear. What it is doing now seems normal operation but the drum will not turn or spin, as mentioned earlier the water comes up to normal level but will not spin drum however if i move the control to spin it drains all the water and then just sits there. does this still sound liek the water level? if so how can i check that sensor’s operation.

Thankyou once again for your help

regards

Re: Candy Sprint 1200

If you get a consistant water level, that ain’t the problem. Possibilities……..

Dry joint on electronic board was always a good one with these. Carbon brushes always worth inspecting, they are designed to wear out. Dropping the motor to check is the easiest way.

Power off – stay safe.

Re: Candy Sprint 1200

Hi,
I have replaced the bushes (£25) and it spins now but is still not rite, it now spins couple of turns one way then a couple turns the other way and thats it…plays no more..
I am going to take out the board tonight and check for dry soldering joints, can anyone suggest any further diagnostics?

Cheers

Re: Candy Sprint 1200 Please help

Hi,

I have now resoldered all joints AND removed some coins from the drain pipe but it still will not work properly.

if i stick it on spin, it drains ok then does 2 short drum cycles and then stops and does no more.

Please help !!!
