No errors on display. (Unaware if there are any diagnostics)
Machine fills, seems to go though wash or rinse cycle OK … but does not enter spin cycle. For example if you set to ‘Rinse & Spin’ cycle …it goes through rinse, it reaches end of rinse, pumps out the water and then just hangs ..
It continues with short turns of drum fwd & bkwards but never enters spin cycle.
It shows ‘RINSE’ on display, and does not move on from short turns, which are presumably to help spread/balance load prior to spin.Have checked filter is clear.
It’s not motor brushes as it’s a 3ph induction motor.Now if we empty machine it will spin happily with drum empty …. any amount of wash load and it does not spin (other cycles are fine). on-line there is a mention of imbalance detector, anybody know where this is and how to test it ?
There is a ‘detector’ on the end of the motor shaft …. it’s multi-segmented and no. Contact, assumed it’s an rpm detector to feedback to motor control … but have no proof of that.Welcome advice/suggestions.
device on the end of the motor is a tacho, your correct. Its so the motor speed can be kept within bounds regardless of load

board measures the power and motor speed to determine imbalance. like driving up and down hill. driving up requires more power and down hill less. if the load is out of balance as the heavy bit climbs up the board has to apply more power to maintain speed and the reverse down

Ok … thx.
Strange same item been washed many times before (dog bedding) …. it would not spin it, wash but not spin.
today full load went through cycle fine …. tried dog bed …. failed to spin again .
Very odd.
