Nextra Hnf 3157 Drum Turns About 10 Degrees Then Stops

Yes

It does do exactly the same every time. Would the board in question be housed in the white box sat just above the motor on the side of the drum?

If the motor turns exactly the same each time you try it and then stops I would suspect a problem with the pcb circuitry.

Don't worried not daft enough to work on a machine while plugged in so no it wasn't.

Water may still have been present somewhere in the system though after I finished and as I plugged it in straight away so could have done the damage then.

You wouldn't necessarily get an error if water got into something. If you lay the machine down with water inside it can seep out and get onto the modules etc. If the noise you heard was when it was plugged in maybe something shorted out? There's nowt much you can do after checking connections.

Water is also a suspect, the waste pipe out if the drum was what was blocked but at the pump end so I had a full drum worth of water to contend with. I would have expected an error if a board was faulty but also appreciate it is not always the case. The unit has had plenty of time and warm weather to dry out but still no luck. The better half has already bought a new one but I still want to know what has caused it for my own curiosity. I have until tomorrow afternoon to fix this one before it has to be moved to the shed and stripped for spares.

It doesn't sound like typical brush problems but worth checking that one isn't charred. If it isn't connections it could be a problem with the module. It's just with it happening after moving the machine connections are always a suspect unless water's got onto something.

Cheers Andy. Connections looked fine, will check the bushes tonight when I get home. I have seen many discussions around the drum not spinning but non mentioning this nudge I am getting when trying to start the spin which is why I did not really suspect the motor bushes themselves.
