Re: SIEMENS WIQ1430 Wont Spin, Washes Okay

Martin,

My dad who was an engineer has run the meter across the motor and it checks out fine, as for the brushes they are approx 30mm at the longest point and about 27mm at the shortest, at £35 each I cannot afford to throw brushes at it on a hunch or without just cause.

Re: SIEMENS WIQ1430 Wont Spin, Washes Okay

Hi Martin,

I believe my engineer friend has swapped the water pressure switches as the first try, then the spin board and now the OOB sensor. I am really loathed to throw the machine away as it is only 3 years old, but I dont want to sink hundreds into repairing it. There is the sound of water gurgling whne the spin cylce starts, but I have been told this is the small amount of water that sits in the machine, is this right?

Regards
Tony

Engineer friend just tried to swap the OOB sensor, no joy.

Hi Boro,

It wil not spin without clothes in either. Got a friend looking at it, he is a wshing machine engineer and he is throiwng bits at it, like the spin board, problem is hwne he returns unused bits they charge him 30{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}, so it’s getting costly already. I suspect the machine is more complex than my friend is used to. Having checked the Siemens web site and the instruction book led me to think of the OOB sensor.

The fault was originally intermittent, i put it down to the wife not loading it properly, now it;s a hard fault. As for error codes, none!

Hi Boro,

It seems to pump out fine, I have checked for blockages and that the prump runs. It wont spin up on a spin cylce either just slowly turns for 10 mins until the cycle is over. I have checked the brushes, okay. Me thinks it may be something to do with the out of balance sensor?

Regards
Tony
