My washing machine washes and drains ok but it will not spin it tries to but wint pick up speed I have checked the filter and it,s clear and it drains the water out fine any ideas what could be wrong please
If it is not picking up speed on the spin cycle then it is the motor or the belt. check the belt first for proper tension and make sure the motor has the proper output. I think something is slipping and not transferring torque to the tub.
Testimonial: "hi thanks for the advice I have been told it could be the brushes as the machine is on the older side and when we took the back off when it goes into the spin cycle we can see sparks from the brushes do you think this is the problem"
Yes, it could be the brushes and that is fairly easy to check if you get the motor apart. For a first timer this is not the easiest to accomplish but you have to learn at sometime. The sparking at the brushes is not uncommon as that is where the magic happens so is not a solid indicator of bad brushes.
great guess it,s time to have a go then thanks for the advice
