Re: BEKO WMA1512W spin cycle problems
Thank you for your replies.
I did clean the armature when I replaced the brushes, so in view of the intermittent nature of the faults I opted to replace the rotary timer/programmer. It solved the problems and all the wash programmes and spin-only cycles are now OK.
Removing the timer was quite straightforward, although the three large multi-pin connectors were very tight and needed some careful prising to get them off. Also the red and green wires to the timer motor are soldered connections.
As a matter of interest I managed to gather together wiring and circuit diagrams (mainly in Turkish), exploded views, and dismantling instructions.
If anyone is tempted to replace the timer on this (or any other machine) please make sure the elctricity is TURNED OFF and the machine UNPLUGGED, and the door has UNLOCKED before you start any work. Good luck.
