Miele W698 washing machine motor not turning

The problem
A Miele W698 washing machine had a motor that was not turning. The owner had already checked the motor brushes and motor continuity and was still unable to identify the fault.
Likely cause
No single cause was confirmed. The accepted reply stated that a non-turning washing machine motor can be caused by many different faults. As brushes had been checked, and the reply also referenced checking the belt, the fault was not narrowed down further in the discussion.
What fixed it
The accepted advice was to have the appliance examined by a Miele engineer or authorised agent, as the fault was not resolved by the checks already carried out. The exact repair was not confirmed.
Checks to try
  • Motor brushes checked
  • Motor continuity checked
  • Belt mentioned as a relevant check in the accepted reply

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

It could be so many things, as my article here describes - Washing machine motor not turning I can only recommend getting a Miele engineer or agent to look at it if you've already found it isn't the brushes or belt.
