New Module Pcb Looks Different
Ok, I have read the general blurb on why the drum won't spin. My machine has had a new motor and a new Module. I also changed the PCB display with a 2nd hand one, and it still will not turn.
The belt is ok and the pump and water fills throughout the cycles and drains in all the right places.
The door locks during cycles and opens at the end.
I have done everything possible for me to do that has been mentioned online. Please help me!!!
The Module I bought as a replacement was made a year later and differers slightly in that it only has 1 capacitor in the bottom left-hand corner and mine had 2. Also, the resistors are a different colour and fatter. The model number is the same etc,. Do you think this card is the problem?
Solution Summary
AI-generated from this discussion
This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Washer still not spinning after motor and module replacement
- The problem
- The washing machine would not turn/spin the drum, despite water filling, draining correctly, the belt being intact, and the door locking during the cycle and unlocking at the end. The owner had already fitted a new motor, a new module, and a second-hand PCB display, but the fault remained. Concern was raised because the replacement module looked slightly different even though the model number matched.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply said the visual design differences on the replacement module were likely insignificant if it was the correct module for the machine. On the evidence given, the strongest supported diagnosis was a connection fault, particularly in the wiring harness, motor plug, or module connections, assuming the replacement parts were correct and serviceable.
- What fixed it
- Check that the replacement module is the correct one for the exact machine and that it fits with the same connections. The accepted advice was to focus on wiring and plug connection issues between the motor and module rather than the cosmetic component differences on the PCB. The exact repair carried out was not confirmed in the discussion.
- Checks to try
- Belt reported as OK
- Pump operation reported as normal
- Machine fills with water throughout cycles
- Machine drains at the correct stages
- Door locks during cycles and opens at the end
- New motor fitted
- New module fitted
- Second-hand PCB display fitted
- Parts or tools mentioned
- Motor
- Module
- PCB display
Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Any differences in design on the module should be insignificant as long as it's the right module for your machine, that's the question. The circuitry on modules can be constantly redesigned but if it's meant for your machine it should fit perfectly with all the same connections. Assuming all the parts you replaced were good, and the right ones it really only leaves connection problems in the wiring harness, motor plug and module connections as the main suspects.
