Recently got 2 replacment belts for spinner which worked fine but now belts are rotating OK in their aluminium wheels but whilst pump ejects some water the spinner drum doesnot spin round. Also spinner ON/OFF switch which should operate when lid is lowered or raised seems to switch off motor AND lift lid at the same time without allowing usual time delay.

long time since i messed with one tip the machine on its side, prepare water spillage out of washer side then strip down the spinner side
(note watch out for the 2 drive pins not key ways) as you strip down) you will find that the drive shoes have stuck/seized on there mounting pins, ease them off clean up the pins and shoe holes,refit this is the centrifugal drive of the spinner
also need to check brake band has not adjusted up to close, with the lid down drum should be able to turn freely, with lid open brake band is applied
lastly listen for a click as you close spinner lid this will be the micro switch working
