tricity bendix aw1000 final spin problem.

[keithwilliams]

seasons greetings every one.
went to this machine owned by a friend.
approx 3 years old little use. ce set motor with good carbons and continuity through the tacho coil.

problem is that it does the wash o.k. and goes into the distribute phase before final spin o.k. the speed begins to build up to the point where it should go into full spin but then it dies off and begins to build up again and so on until eventually it clicks to end of cycle.

the motor appears to function well during the cycle and there is at least half inch of shiny carbons. the filter housing is clear and the pump runs well. there are no blockages in the pressure tube/chamber and the pressostat clicks o.k.

i’ve not personally seen this fault on this or similar models and so would appreciate some advice please.

Re: tricity bendix aw1000 final spin problem.

It’s likely to be a stretched belt. This machine has an out of balance sensor and a stretched belt can fool the electronics into thinking the load is out of balance. The machine will distribute but not spin.

The other common one that throws you on some machines is a bad solder connection on the relays on the module. This will allow the machine to only run in the reverse tumble.

Good luck and happy new year.

thanks for advice bob but i had checked as you say. then it turns out a mate of mine had same symptoms on one of these and a timer fixed it. so customer is now happy with new timer ( £54 from masterpart)
