mains supressor on hotpoint wm51p?

hi the supressor is buzzing, it fills & emptys but will not spin,but spins by hand, new brushers fitted, belts fine, could it have gone fauly?

Hi Darren, mains filter would not stop it spinning, i would check the brushes are fitted correctly, if fitted by a proper w/m engineer then should not be a problem, if you fitted them check that the litttle brass catch on the brush holder has been bent out to allow brush to slide the holder on to the motor armature,as when these aer brought from a shop the brushes are held captive as so not to damage them
