0417 Error Code Beko WMB 81445 LW
I have tried test mode. No drum rotation in that sequence. Belt is intact. Is this a carbon brush problem in the motor?

Beko WMB 81445 LW error 0417 with no drum rotation
- The problem
- The washing machine showed error 0417 and the drum would not turn. In test mode, the sequence reportedly skipped the drum tests. The machine still filled and drained, and the drive belt was intact.
- Likely cause
- The discussion supports a motor circuit fault rather than a belt or pump issue. A broken motor cable was reported by a forum member as the cause on a similar case. Other possibilities mentioned were connection faults, the main PCB, or a fault within the motor. Exact cause on this machine was not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- Recommended action was to inspect motor wiring and connections, as a broken cable was specifically reported as a simple fix in a similar case. If no obvious fault is visible, further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer. Buying a replacement motor was discussed by the original poster, but no confirmed repair on this machine was documented.
- Checks to try
- Test mode run with no drum rotation and drum tests skipped
- Drive belt checked and found intact
- Machine confirmed to fill
- Machine confirmed to drain
- Motor identified as not using carbon brushes
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Replacement drum motor
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Hi Andy,
Firstly, I went through the test sequence and it skipped the drum tests presumably as the motor isn't working; the belt is fine. It isn't a brush motor this one and if it isn't this problem, it is probably something I cannot fathom. I am not a fitter, but being diagnostic. It is doing the fill sequence and draining, so the water pump is fine. @ £168 for a new drum motor, I think I have a costly repairable machine, but I can get one for £25 second hand online and it is only a few bolts, i.e problem solved. The pcb is another issue, but it must be working to get the test sequence.. I did find a link to 0417 as a bearing set, but I didn't understand why. I can no longer find the link.
Thanks for your feedback
Hi, if it doesn't have carbon brushes and the belt is ok that leaves various connection faults or the main pcb or other faults on the motor. It's best to get an engineer to diagnose if you can't see anything. Definitely a gamble just buying parts and hoping although you might consider £25 not too much of a gamble as long as it's definitely the same motor.
