Bosch wfmc1001uc goes through cycle fills and drains but drum won't spin or rotate during wash and spin cycles. i can turn drum freely by hand could this be a broken belt and is this a difficult repair.

Sure sounds like your timer has bit the dust. I'm not sure if the timer is still available. You have a great washer there. Good luck.

Timer issue is my guess

Old Navy wants too much for free . we diyers learn by doing for our selves .when I can not fix I either junk it and get new or call the local repair service to have it cat least checked out .

check motor brushes or capasator

Hi Justene,
i Think its control circuit has a problem.
or the fuse for motor drive circuit is damaged.

please check with electrician.

Check connectors on motor assembly they can become loose due to the high speed and vibration. Motor and drum are tied together. I had similiar problem with mine after spending a few hundred on a control board which made no difference.

Hi mwilczewsk,

I believe your drain pump filter is just clogged. The drain pump is trying to pump the water out before the Spin cycle, but can't. Usually this is caused by a foreign object that is obstructing the impeller. See my tip on how to access, drain & clean the Drain Pump Filter:

ACCESS, DRAIN & CLEAN THE DRAIN PUMP FILTER

After this, the Spin cycle will run, after the drainage procedure. If it does not, then you may need to replace the Drain Motor. Which is a easy task.

Kind Regards :-)

Sounds like belt has fallen off if easy to turn .Failing this check motor brush kit...

Since you say relay sounds are heard, it shows the command is OK. The power to the motor is not reaching. It could be relay contact problem.

If you have a option of only spin, try this option. If it works the motor is OK. Otherwise you have to trace the power line and test it through a electrical line tester.

Sounds like the spin coil/brake solenoid is burnt out or broken. This is a coil situated on the motor plate under the machine with a lever attatched to it. When the machine goes into spin cycle, this solenoid pulls the brake away from the outer drum to allow the drum and agitator to spin together. The shaft that goes into this coil should move in and out freely. If tight, replace spin coil/brake solenoid.
