Hi guys, this machine is washing but not spinning. Checked motor drive, it’s ok.
Is this likely to be the gearbox or just the clutch?

there is a spin clutch above the gearbox ( 481969018152). drop box out ( very easy)from underneath leaving tub in place
)

look at cluch for waer or oil contamination. if its worn it will be down to rivets. if its got oil on it the box is letting out oil and you may have to replace box as well

before removing clutch check the following

1 remove outer case ( support rear of machine against a wall or something )
2 short out safety switch on lid
3 set machine to spin and turn on
4 with a torch look at clutch on top of gearbox. if the clutch outer is turning then can only be clutch wear,oil contamination or stiff main drum
5 switch off machine and isolate check for oil around clutch area

all other checks need gaerbox out but it comes out in less than 10 mins

hope it helps
