Washing Machine Help Forum

Hi, When my machine goes onto the spin cycle it was only spinning
slowly,and making a strange noise.Then picking something up off
the floor, looked under machine and saw sparks coming from
the motor . So switched off .
Does this mean a new motor ,

thanks B W


Hope i havn't posted twice first time didn't seem to work.

It'll be the motor brushes wearing out, Bev. You'll need a pair of these:

If you're not confident about removing the motor and fitting them, click the link below for a UKW engineer in your area.

In the meantime, don't use the machine - you run a serious risk of cooking the motor - then it gets expensive!

Power off if investigating.

Similar to the brushes on an alternator on the car, let him have a go , if not as p45 says look up a local wg engineer

Power in, instead of out.......
