Not Spinning: Spins Then Stops

[aslicer]

I turned my beko wm5120w machine on today and the start light was on and also the spin/end button. Every 5 minutes it tries to spin for a couple of seconds then repeats itself. After about 20 mins the start button flashes and it wont let me do anything or reprogramme it. When the start is flashing the ready light and spin/end button lights are on continuously. Please help. I am at the end of my tether as just come back off hols and need my washer desperately.

Do you have an awkward load in by any chance? Out of balance protection can stop loads spinning and cycle for ages trying to spin them before giving up. It's worth just reading my Blog article on it just in case - washing machine won't spin just one item or a small load
