Re: whirlpool awm321 won’t spin

Oh Damn!! 🙁
When I fitted the door switch I tested the spin and it spun up a treat but a load of washing has now come out wet so not spinning again. The first thing I checked when all this started was the brushes, plenty of life left in them, so any other ideas please?
Thanks
Chris

Re: whirlpool awm321 won’t spin

Just to let you know I finally got round to getting and fitting a new door switch and what do you know….it worked!!! So many thanks for your advice, you know what they say “never doubt a Belgian”! 😆
Thanks again

Re: whirlpool awm321 won’t spin

Oh alright then I’ll do it! Didn’t realise it would be a two stage kind of thing. It might be a rash promise to come and fix the machine as I live half a mile from Lands End….a longish old way from Manchester! Mind you easier than coming from Belgium 😀 .
I’ll let you know how it goes and thankyou for your time and trouble.

Re: whirlpool awm321 won’t spin

Ok, if the door interlock was knackered the machine would not run through a cycle which it does, the only thing it won’t do is spin at full speed. So unles I’m being stupid (always a possibility 😆 ) I can’t see it being a door lock fault or can it?
Thankyou for your time!

Re: whirlpool awm321 won’t spin

Thanks for the replies guys!
Forgot to say the water level switch seems to be working ok (pump comes on if you blow into it and goes off when you stop).
Would the door interlock affect only the spin part of the cycle?
Thanks

Re: Indesit widl126 not drying

Hi Jim
Thanks for your reply. I measured the resistance of the heater element at 40 ohms and the thermostat at something over 10,000 ohms if that’s of any help….trouble is I don’t know what the readings should be, can anyone advise?
Many thanks
Chris
