Why won't the drum on my washing machine spin and can I fix it myself without too much difficulty ?

Have checked the pump and that is ok. No water in the drum.

SOURCE: I have a Tricity Bendix AW1000W. The drum will not

Could be anything , from a loose connection or broken wire to a control board or timer fault..You say the brushes are o/k, but if they are less than 3 or 4mm long, they need replacing.
Even the motor itself could be faulty.
I assume the drive belt is o/k, and correctly tensioned..
It is difficult to advise you further because thier are too many variables involved.
Please leave your comments on my suggested solution.
Thankyou.

SOURCE: machine will fill and turn slowly but will not

Check motor capacitor first.Try moving the drum and see there is no extra friction. If your washer has got braking mechanism check the brakes also. ( I have no idea about this model regarding break)

I have a Whirlpool Gold washer (MOD# GSQ9669LW0). The washer makes a grinding noise below when in operation. Spins when agitating, but not in rinse mode. Water still pumps out in final spin.

This machine can get items stuck in the drum, the bearings can go bad etc. https://www.repairclinic.com/RepairHelp/How-To-Fix-A-Washing-Machine/38-5-620929-/Whirlpool-Washer-won-t-spin-GSQ9669LW0.

Washing Machines will not rinse or spin

If the water won't drain out of your washing machine, either something is stuck in the drain hose or pump, or the pump is broken. Both fixes are simple if you're even just a little bit handy with tools. We're showing the repair on a Maytag washing machine.
What is wrong with a washer that does not spin?
If your washer fills with water but doesn't agitate, the problem is likely to be a faulty lid switch, a broken belt, or a problem with the motor. (Note: Direct-drivewashing machines do not have belts.) To diagnose the problem, do the following: 1Check the washing machine's spin cycle.

What causes a washing machine not to drain and spin?
If the washer won't drain there might be a clogged pump or hose. It's common for small socks or other small clothing items to get into the water drain system and clog the hose leading to the pump or the pump itself. Remove the hoses from the pump in order to remove the article of clothing.

The machine won't pump water or spin and makes nasty noise. When I turn the drum by hand there is no noise and feels normal.

Hotpoint WT761 washing machine - Error code F-10 The machine is filling with water, then signalling F-10, then pumping the water out. So the fill solenoid and the pump are working OK. If I set the machine...

Thats strange, F10 means no cold fill.
Ok back to basics, you can check the pressure switch by taking off the tube and gently blowing into it and I mean gently, you should hear a click if its ok - make sure the other end is'nt blocked, blow it out with a cycle pump near the drum end

After wash cycle machine does not spin dry, I have checked the belt which is ok,

The machine will not its spin cycle if there is any water left in the drum, check to see if the drum is actually pumping out, if it is not it could be either a blocked pump, a burnt out pump motor or faulty lrvrl control switch.

Best of Luck

PE235 gets stuck on draining and won't go to spin

what you have is whats called a magnetic pump it should feel jerky to rotate but should be free without locking up, this pump is designed this way to avoid little things getting blocked in it. if the pump is free from blockages and works electrically, then the pump is not a problem, the problem sounds like the motor or the motor control board pcb which is located at the side of the timer (i think on that model) first check the motor carbons for wear, the armature for signs of burning or sparking, then the module for any signs of scorching etc, difficult thing to diagnose without test equipment but you now have somewhere to start from when looking hope i have helped a little
