How can I get my Indesit WG1233T to spin?

The machine will do everything else but spin!! Checked brushes but they are ok!

Any sugestions?

I have had this problem twice with our Indesit WG1233T, fortunately both time it was still under warranty. On both occasions the engineer replaced the speed controller, and if I remember correctly said it was a known problem on early models. The problem has not re-occured in quite a few years.

Thanks for the answer Mick G. I have the exact same fault.

I don't know if it's a common problem, but here's what I found when mine stopped going round. With the rear access panel removed, there is a white plastic enclosure in the bottom left corner. This contains the Remco 5535 motor speed controller pcb. Remove the short edge connector, revealling terminal marked "T1". The terminal connection on the pcb had completely eroded away, cutting off the supply to the motor. This was easily repaired by soldering a length of 15A fuse wire to the remaining track to restore the connection.

no, just a visual inspection - no wear 'n' tear at all

have you checked the brushes with a meter? or just looked at them,
