Hi I have a Hotpoint WMT03 which was periodically not performing the final spin. It decided to forget the final spin altogether last week while making a racket like a bag of marbles was in the drum. I firstly checked the brushes and they look fine with plenty of wear left and no scorching. The commutator also feels good and smooth. After i popped the motor back in any program choice now always results in the same. It starts off with a spin straight away say only 5-8 revolutions then a pause of 10-15 seconds or so then another short spin and end program light comes on. I replaced the bearings as they needed doing and no other parts looked broken, burned or otherwise damaged when it was apart. Apart from taking the brushes off and cleaning them nothing was done to the motor. What could be causing the 2 spins then the abort? If anyone can shed any light on this i would very very grateful.
