Hotpoint WDD960GUK intermittent fault – drum not spinning

[domaniqs]

Dear all,
I have a problem with washer dryer Ultima wdd960guk. The fault seem to be intermittent, there is no error codes displayed, which is even more puzzling.
The machine perform a washing cycle as normal but its drum is not turning sometimes right from the beginning of the cycle, sometimes it stops during the cycle and then washing cycle takes a very long time to complete. On a rare occasions, it washes everything as it should including drying.
I have replaced the drive belt with genuine new part and it seemed to help as the old belt expanded a bit. Now after several successful washes it is back to where it started.
I wanted to replace carbon brushes in motor, but this motor is probably brush-less as I was not able to find brushes for it, anywhere.
That might mean that I need to replace the control module as from what I know, brush-less motors are controlled by the computers.
Has any one experienced similar problem as I don’t want to go into trouble of spending around £100 on motor just to spend another over a £100 on control module.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Dave for your reply. I might as well check the motor wiring first, then go to EMW if I wouldn’t find anything wrong with wires.
All the best
