Re: Hotpoint WM68P – drum doesnt spin

belt on, pretty tight yep. checked motor and mounting – all secure. no noise on drum; now working on its first load 😀 just begs the question what caused it to fall off?

thanks again,

Tom

Re: Hotpoint WM68P – drum doesnt spin

well the answer was you were both right really… i hadnt had time to get it out and get the top off to look but i was pretty sure it was a motor spinning fast with little resistance that i could hear and that did turn out to be the case. belt had slid off somehow, seems in ok condition with just a bit of fraying on the back in places… should i get a new one regardless? in the meantime i shall fit it back on as per instructions.
hopefully should be the end of things but presumably if it comes adrift again i’ll have to investigate further to try and find the underlying cause.

many thanks for your wise words,

tom
