Grans spinner does not spin - Hotpoint Supermatic Plus 9404? I am trying help my friends Gran. Her twintub does not spin. The motor runs and drive belt is in one piece but seems to be slipping around the pulley on the bottom of the spin cyclinder. The two sides of the pulley wheel seem to be lose or even separate. I have no idea if the drive mechanism has some sort of clutch which is not gripping. She is 94 and I hope to help her get the machine going, since it is lasting almost as long her.

SOURCE: drive belt out of alignment

check pulley is fully bolted home. also fault could be due to the bearing spider (on the drum) being broken or cracked on one leg. if this was so, would expect spin with clothes to be very noisy. get gack to me if you want. the belt is a stretchy belt ie no adjustment for tightness

Does it a new belt or the existing one ?

SOURCE: How to replace belt??

there are two wheels unplug every thing and turn upside down you will find the other wheel

SOURCE: replaced belt but it keeps slipping

There is a pivot spring on the side of the motor. It is a large "U" shaped spring. This is the only spring there is on this unit. The motor itself sits on a floating plate. Make sure this plate moves side-to-side. If it doesn't it will need to be broken loose.

if you have gotten that far your good
now try to look at the motor it sounds like your belt might be a lil off track on the mortor shaft
there is a adjustment srew on the top left of the motro its hidden under things but its there
you can looses this and swing the motor
make sure you have it lined up on the motor shaft and it should stay aligned on the pully
