Any views on the ISE2? I cannot find a price or supplier anywhere!

Jim – I wish I had the time to ‘fix’ it. The issue is the washing machine is in a rented property and the tenant is currently without a washing machine, so I need a solution quickly.
If the Bosch is not great, what is the current recommendation in the £250-£300 bracket?

Thanks for your help and advice.
The machine is probably now 5-7 years old, so this may well be the time to replace.
Found a BOSCH WAA24162GB for around £230. Looks like a good bet

UPDATE Re Problems Hotpoint Aquarius 1200 WD62 – Gets Stuck
I have an update on the situation.
I have checked the machine and it fills and drains without problems.
When turning to a spin cycle the problems start.
The spin starts but never really gets going. Its as if the drum gets enough energy to get up to speed but then slows down and stops, this takes around 20-30 seconds.
Does this still sound like the brushes?
Thanks again
BenQuick Question on the brushes.
If they are worn. How come the drum will turn over to wash but not to spin?
Sorry if this is really stupid but I cannot follow the logic!

If it does not then there is a good chance the motor brushes have failed.
If the machine washes fine until the first rinse then just sits there with water running in and out at the same time then almost certainly the plumbing is at fault.
The machine will be stuck syphoning. Can be caused by the outlet pipe being to low or being pushed right down into a standpipe. It should be at least 22 inches above the floor and if the outlet hose goes into a standpipe it should go down into the pipe no more that five or six inches.

Jim – Thats for the guidance.
I will need to check if the machine spins. I will get over there tomorrow and check the spin cycle.
The plumbing has not been changed or moved as far as I am aware but I will also check tomorrow.
