w.machine drum not spinning help!!

[admin]

HI there i have an ariston al1257t w.m! yesterday during a normal wash the drum has decided to stop spinning!!Ive turned it off tried it from the start,and various other positions and still no rotation took the back off and the belt is perfect,there is a noise which i believe is the pump going continuously when on a spin cycle(i can feel it vibrating) any ideas what the problem is guys?there is a pcb module in the bottom left rear of the machine could this be it?or could it be brushes gone if it has them? any tips would be much appreciated
thanks

ps the belt or spindle does not move at all when on the rotation cycles for you info!!

You’re on the right track. It’s got a brush motor, so they may well be finished. These machines are also prone to burning out the tracks where the edge connectors join the board. Some also have a circuit protection fuse.

If you are not confident with using test equipment, you must get professional help.

Check the Directories section for a UKW engineer, or pop your postcode up in here and someone will pick up on it.

Whatever you do, pull the plug first.
