my hoover automatic460 washing machne no longer spins.?
My hoover automatic 460 doesnt spin anymore. Any clues, it fills with water, and pumps said water out, and the belt is fine. motor appears not to be going, but no cooked brushes smell is present. hasnt siezed, it all turns if i manualy pull the barrel or belt. movement is very free. Any clues greatly appreciated.
This appears to have the symptons of worn motor brushes.
If motor brushes are making contact with the comm, I would suggest that the motor has lost magnetism. The cure would be a replacement motor. There is a possiblility however that the module may have blown and is not telling the motor to turn!
What you haven't made clear is does the motor turn on normal wash and rinse cycles? If it isn't turning on spin, the module is the most likely cause of the problem.
Both items for parts alone are going to cost you iro £100.00. Only you can decide if it is worth repairing when for double that amount, you could buy a new washing machine
