Re: Hotpoint WM64 Commutator wear. Opionions

Ok, will do.

I’ve got 2 spare control units inc one brand new one so i’m not too worried about that (I wanted one as a spare so put two really low bids on ebay and won both). It does spin ok from cold but just sparks a bit at low rpm.

Only fault with the washer is it sometimes fails to do the final spin, and i’ve been told it can be to do with the armature overheating, although i’m hoping new brushes and a clean out of all the dust will sort it.

Edit:

Drain pump is new, the other one did fail but think it was caused by it just sitting and not doing anything apart from pumping for hours due to it ‘sticking’ before the final spin. Will see how it is with new brushes before doing anything else.
