    OK – just about to dive in. Why the big hoo-ha about testing for mains voltages though ? I’ve worked on live valve amplifiers with double that voltage – and DC at that ! I’m not the type who wades in with dangling jewellery whilst standing barefoot in an earthed metal bucket of water 🙂

    Re: Hotpoint WM52 motor not spinning ?

    Hi,

    I’ll have a look at the brushes tonight. However, I’m not hopeful on that front as when I’ve seen brushes go before, they haven’t just died completely like this. I am an engineer btw, – just not a washing machine engineer !

    As for live tests – surely the easiest way to establish whether the fault is the motor or the board / supply is to check for 240v at the brushes ? – or is there an easier method ?

    Thanks for your help mate !
