I've been trying to recondition my old Zanussi FL1012 washing machine. Among other things, I replaced the brushes on the Sole motor however the motor still doesn't work. I took it to a guy who repairs power tools and he told me the motor itself is broken and needs to be replaced. Can anyone tell me which model(s) of motor would be compatible with my old machine? Thanks.

Does the machine drain out water in the beginning of the process ? In case it drains out water: -Check first the filters on the inlet water line. - If problem still exist,test for 115/220V on solenoid tags. Good luck !

if computer is broken that is your timer dial not worth fixing sometimes as much as a new washer but it could be your interlock you can test this by closing door set machine to a programme hit the front of your washer to the right of the door as you look at it if not take lid of make sure power is off look down inside the front of your machine were your door seal is attached to the outer drum were u hit the washer on the inside will be your interlock switch replace that before paying out for a timer m8 more than likely that is the problem

you have to remove the case off the unit , remove the pump retaining clips, the motor, and IF THE MOTOR HAS A CAPASITOR ON THE RIGHT SIDE WITH 2 RED WIRES CONNECTED TO IT USE AN INSULATED SCREWDRIVER TO SHORT OUT THE 2 THERMINALS ON THE CAPASITOR TO DISCHARGE IT IF YOU DONT SHORT OUT THE CAPASITOR IT COULD IN SOME CASES BE A DEADLY SHOCK, REMOVE THE WIRING CONNECTOR FROM THE MOTOR remove the motor retaining clips and the coupling is right in frount of where you removed the motor just be safe at all costs

Servicing the Timer
Most washing machine timers are digital or mechanical. The timer controls most of the operations of the washer: water level, tub filling and emptying, length of cycles, and cycle setting sequences. For this reason, any repairs to the timer should be made by a professional service person. However, there are a couple of checks you can make when you suspect the timer is faulty -- you may be able to install a new timer yourself.
Step 1: Unplug the washer. To access the timer, remove the control knobs and the panel that covers the controls. This may be a front panel, or access may be through a panel at the back of the unit. Carefully examine the wires that connect the timer to the other parts of the washer. If the wires are loose or disconnected, try pushing them into position; they usually fit into their terminals like plugs. Use long-nosed pliers to avoid breaking the wire connections -- never pull a wire by hand.
Step 2: To test the timer, use a VOM set to the RX1 scale. Disconnect the power leads to the timer and clip one probe of the VOM to each lead. The VOM should read zero if the timer is working. Since the timer is a multiple switch, turn it through its cycle and test each pair of terminals in turn. The meter should read zero at all of these points. If one or more readings are above zero, the timer is faulty and should be replaced.
Step 3: To replace the timer, unscrew and disconnect the old one. Install a new timer made specifically for the washing machine. If there are many wires on the timer, have a helper hold the new timer next to the old one as you work. Disconnect the old wires one at a time, connecting each corresponding new wire as you work, to make sure the connections are properly made. Or, draw a diagram showing the connections before removing the old timer. After all the wires are connected, check the connections again for correctness and screw the timer assembly into place.
In the next section, we will examine two of the most crucial elements of a washing machine -- the water inlet valves and the agitator.
