I have a beko wma 765s with a peculiar problem. The cycle runs through as normal and the drum rotates at the appropriate times, that is until it reaches the spin cycle. Everything starts off ok, it increases in speed up to, i would say 800rpm for a few minutes, then stops as if the power as been turned of (but it hasnt and the front display remains lit), then just as the drum is about to stop rotating it burst back up to full revs, not gently, but all at once, which makes the belt scream and the machine bounce!! It then spins for about 30 seconds and does it all over again, and again until the time runs out, without ever reaching top speed of 1200 or 1600 (cycle dependant) I replaced the carbon brushes as the old ones kept sticking in and were pitted but it made no difference. When the motor is spinning, it is very smooth and quiet, with no noticable sparking on the comm, until it suddenly sets off at full speed which makes the motor spark, belt scream, machine jump, and me sh*t myself!! someone please help. The machine drains as normal and the pump has no problems.

Check the tacho coil for breakages in the connections. The tacho coil is a small generator coil on the end of the motor which provides a voltage proportional to the speed of the motor. This voltage is fed back to the speed control module to enable the machine to check the rotation, direction and speed of the motor. If the machine goes into spin as soon as you turn it on, the tacho coil on the motor is faulty or come off, sometimes the screw holding it on has just come undone and it has fallen off or the outer casing has come adrift.

check the wiring loom on the motor connection block for loose/burnt wires.pull on them one by one or do a continuity test on loom.if this is ok it could be a faulty motor (faulty winding) or control pcb
