Hello, I've recently got a fault with my washing machine which I believe was my own error overloading it. It won't turn or spin I've read some other posts and I've checked the belt which is fine I've taken the motor off and checked the brushes and there fine and I've even wired up the motor to see if that was okay and that ran fine when wired up could it possibly be my Dc module ? Any help would be great as I've only had it for 18months!

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.

Beko WM74135W drum would not turn or spin; module found burnt

The problem
Beko WM74135W washing machine would not turn the drum or spin. The owner believed the issue started after overloading the machine.
Likely cause
A burnt-out part in the DC module was confirmed by the owner. After replacing the module, the motor turned again, but during a wash it only ran for a couple of seconds before cutting out. The follow-up cause was not confirmed; the discussion suggested a possible connection fault on the module, a motor fault, or a fault in the motor plug.
What fixed it
The owner replaced the DC module after finding a burnt component. This restored drum movement, but the wash-cycle cut-out fault remained. No confirmed final repair was given. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
Checks to try
  • Drive belt checked and reported fine
  • Motor removed and brushes checked and reported fine
  • Motor reportedly ran when wired up
  • Burnt-out part found in the DC module
  • After module replacement, drum turned but cut out after a couple of seconds on a wash programme
Parts or tools mentioned
  • DC module
  • Motor brushes
  • Drive belt

Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Hi, this fault is covered in my washing machine faults section - Washing machine drum not turning - to be honest you've already checked the common issues so it might need an engineer but all possible causes of this fault are described.

Faults like this can be difficult to diagnose. If you've fitted a new module and that has got the motor turning but only for a short time it's hard to guess what the problem could be other than potentially a faulty module (unlikely if new) or a connection fault on the module or a fault on the motor or inside the motor plug.
