Hi my washing machine's drum is not turning. It fills and drains ok, but is fairly silent when it's trying to turn/spin. It's about 5 or 6 years old. Haven't checked anything so far other than the drum resistance which seems normal. From what I've read it could be the motor and/or brushes? The other thing worth noting is that it's occassionally not spun clothes very well (ie still wet) Any help would be much appreciated
