Zanussi 1245w fails to spin

Hello My 1245W is doing it all right, except when the spin cycle at the end of the washing cycle is selected. To put it simply, it is draining but not spinning leaving all the load soaking wet. Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply - it is rotating on wash and managing a slower speed spin when on drain mode, but still no high speed spin.

Suspect it may not be rotating on wash either. check the moor brushes

cant give you a definitive answer but could be:

1) there is an out of balance detector which prevents spin if load will not balance. however this would obviously not operate every time only when unbalanced load.

2) points to a defective motor control pcb. sometimes it is worth visual examination to see if any dry joints. less likely is a defective motor

i assume it is draining completely - no drain, no spin

Zanussi aquacycle 1200.After a wash has finished and i empty washing, reload again,it wont start and none of the lights come on.eventially it works ok again after a good 5-10 mins.

you have probably done no harm. try selecting spin and drain again to ensure the water has drained properly.
Machine starting on its own after 5 minutes or so is usually the door lock failing, again not caused by your actions.

Zanussi ZJD1219 Washer/Dryer - noisy spin and dirty spots

Sounds like the main drum bearings have failed, and the marks on clothes are probably grease spots from the main bearings.
It is quite an involved repair, and not one that I would recommend you tackle yourself unless you are competent to do so,as it really is involved.
Please rate my solution.
Thanks.
