My year 2003 Bosch Maxx washing machine functions on wash and drain but does not spin, even when I select the Spin switch position. All wires/cables are intact and I have thoroughly cleaned the drainage system. I suspect a relay, or possibly the windings of the spin motor. Does anyone have experience of this fault?

Thanks

Thank you both. New brushes restored the spin function.

You may be interested to learn that the new brushes I fitted (Qualtex) were a very tight fit at the sides. I carefully rubbed both side edges of the brushes on a sheet of medium sandpaper on a flat surface until the fit was perfect.

Thanks again
