indesit wixl123s issue

[Soulfly83]

My indesit wixl123s wont spin. It fills with water then soon as it should move on to spin , nothing happens. I can only hear a couple clicks. The drive belt is still on place, it drains the water and the filter has recently been cleaned. Any helps appreciated

The clicks arnt loud, also for a long time we’ve had to give the door a extra push after closing to get it to lock and washing to start.

does the drum turn at all ? even on wash ?

if no check brushes if it has them

It doesnt turn at all

Definitely, those look like CESET motor brushes like these. https://shop.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/c00296122-washing-machine-carbon-brush

I bought a cheap set off amazon, hopefully not made of chocolate. Cheers

they wont be as good as the gen ones

keep the loads lower and use only low spin speeds starting at 800 for the first 20 washes to give the brushes a chance to bed in. The non gen brushes need more time to settle in

Sounds like a plan, thanks

Ones I got are different, doh

Similar but different, serves me right for going with cheapest option.

The ones in our online shop are the right ones with the brush ends at the correct angle.

Defo same as black ones?

[electrofix]

there not even close, completely different mounting

if you want a quality part use the gen part linked above

if you want a cheaper alternative try

but I have stopped fitting some pattern parts due to a lowering of quality over the last 10 years

Totally different, those are for a Welling motor not a CESET.

[Soulfly83]

Bought ones you first recommended, arrived today. Machine is working now. Just put it on a spin. Can it be used as normal now?

[iadom]

If it sounds smooth on spin with no crackling noises then you should be fine.
