Wash cycle spin repeatedly doesn't get going
Hi folks
Hoping someone can help...
I have a Beko washing machine. Suddenly today, the wash cycle has developed a fault.
It starts each little spin, does maybe half a spin, and stops (stops even trying). A minute or so later it does the same again.
The motor sounds fine to me, and it had been working well until today. I've cleaned the filter etc, and turned the drum by hand and it seems fine.
Can anyone suggest what that is likely to be, so I can decide next steps (repair or replace)?
Thanks!
Glen

Beko washing machine briefly attempts to spin, then stops
- The problem
- A Beko washing machine suddenly started failing to get into the wash-cycle spin. It would begin each spin, turn only about half a rotation, then stop trying, repeating this after about a minute. The filter had been cleaned and the drum turned freely by hand.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply suggested the machine may simply have been unable to balance the load properly, particularly with a single item or very small load. A fault was also considered possible, but no specific component fault was confirmed.
- What fixed it
- The rear panel was removed and the drive belt was checked; it appeared fine. After this, the machine reportedly started working again. No definite repair was documented, so the exact cause was not confirmed.
- Checks to try
- Cleaned the filter
- Drum turned by hand and seemed fine
- Back removed to check the belt
- Belt appeared fine

It may have a fault. But make sure it isn't just that it couldn't balance the load properly Washing machine won’t spin just one item or very small load

Update!
I took the back off to check the band. All seemed fine. And oddly, now it's working!
But the motor does sound very rattly, almost like its hitting something.
Is that normal (when the back is off, I presume it's noisier!)
