Re: JLWM1603 spinning problem

Thanks, but she is coping well.
I hope to be able to sort it myself, just trying to get a head start. I used to fix helicopters….certain I can handle a WM, just used to the mechanical whirring bits as opposed to the electrical sparky bits!
If it’s bushes it looks a doddle. But can anyone clever answer my question re:- motor at slow speed vs high speed…..would worn bushes allow a motor to operate normally at low speed and then fail at high speed?

Thanks

By the way, I am usually very literate, it’s just my typing that isn’t!

Re: JLWM1603 spinning problem

Out of curiosity, why would the brushes being worn ONLY affect the spin cycle? The machine runs a complette wash as normal and only fails at the spin cycle. Hence, the motor seems to be working normally.

Thanks

Re: JLWM1603 spinning problem

Thanks Martin, I was worried I would need this info! Not a standard motor in all machines then? Can this info be found on the label at the back or is it only on the motor? Can’t expect my wife to lift the machine out and start stripping it down unfortunately!

Thanks

Re: JLWM1603 spinning problem

Thanks Andy

Do you happen to know which machine this one is, ie its a John Lewis but is it AEG/Electrolux/Bosch etc, and whuich model.

Are the bushes simple and cheap to replace as time is precious and we only need a machine for 2 months, hence don’t want to spend much on this one..

Thanks again

Paul
