Hoover 550 front load washing machine - it has stopped spinning, but water goes in and out through the cycle. I wonder if the motor has stopped working or the inside has got a part broken. Thanks for your answer! May 2011.1.12

My 5,5 l wishing machein is electricity don't go to motor whot is the problem

i would check the motor carbons it could be your problem if it fills goes through the programme until the end but has motor action

Will the unit spin if you manually turn the timer dial to spin? If so, remove power, remove the clock motor from the timer, and inspect the clock and mating timer gearing for debris or damaged gear teeth. At the worst, replace the timer. You may be able to scrape or file the damaged teeth so that the timer will progress.

check carbon brushes on motor

Sounds like you have a blockage in the filter or the motor brushes have worn down.

Can you hear the pump running just before the spin cycle, if so then I suspect a blockage in the filter or pump hose, If not and machine is quiet then it could be a faulty water pump or PCB board and you would have to call a technician.

The most common cause of machines stopping mid cycle is not draining. Your machine should have a filter behind the kick plate at the bottom.
If this is not the case please post back for further assistance.

i found a squirt of wd40 worked wonders

if if spins the belt is ok,may have timer fault or timer module ( next to timer) if fitted will be faulty

sounds like the motor brushes need renewing.
