Problem for Hotpoint WMA40 Front Load Washer

Drum not turning

By jfharvi on Jul 21, 2009

" "

My WMA40 has just decided to stop turning the drum. Belt is OK. I've fitted new brushes. Assembled it all again but drum still won't turn. I've been told it could be the motor or the control module, but how to find out which! The machine is only 5 years or so old so I'm reluctant to just ditch it.
Any ideas?
Thanks
John

If it fills and pump works, then it can only be the motor or module, there is no sure way of determining which it is without trying to fix it with new parts.
You can look at the module to see if it has blown a track, if it has, then the moor has caused the prob.
Please rate my solution.
Thanks.
