Beko Wm6143W Drum Not Spinning
hey, ive been looking around for some help and advice, my washer recently stopped spinning (noticed when i went to check at end of cycle) cycle had not completed it had 'hung' at one point and the start/pause light was flashing, it wouldn't let me do ANYTHING until i had turned it off and back on again, where it only let me cancel the cycle.
it doesn't spin on any setting, at any speed, though it makes the grinding sound like its trying to, im 'notsogoodatdiy' as my name implies, but have checked the drive belt which is fine, and had a look to make sure no wires have come loose etc, cleaned the filter bit and emergency pipe. i had a good look all around inside and couldn't see anything that i thought looked off.
anyone have any advice? cant live without a washer! lol
thanks in advance!

Beko WM6143W not spinning, cycle hangs with flashing start/pause light
- The problem
- The Beko WM6143W stopped spinning on all settings and speeds. A cycle was found hung before completion with the start/pause light flashing. After switching off and back on, the machine would only allow the cycle to be cancelled. The drum made a grinding-type sound as if trying to spin.
- Likely cause
- Most strongly supported diagnosis is a motor-related fault, specifically worn motor brushes or a faulty tachometer/magnet. The exact failed part was not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- Suggested action was to check the motor brushes for wear and inspect the tachometer, as the magnet can break on these machines. The accepted reply also referred the user to general guidance on washing machines not spinning and flashing lights. No confirmed repair was posted.
- Checks to try
- Drive belt checked and found fine
- Visual check for loose wires
- Filter cleaned
- Emergency drain pipe checked/cleaned
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Motor brushes
- Tachometer
- Tachometer magnet
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
