Indesit Module Fault?

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

Indesit WG12 drum motor not turning, module suspected

The problem

An Indesit WG12 washing machine stopped turning the motor. The carbon brushes were checked by the owner and were reported to still have plenty of life left.

Likely cause

The accepted reply considered the motor likely to be OK and pointed to the speed control module as the most likely fault area. Suggested visible faults were a blown small fuse, burned printed circuit board at the connector strip, or a resistor with a dry joint or that had come unsoldered on earlier Indesit models. The exact failed component was not confirmed.

What fixed it

Remove and carefully inspect the speed control module for visible damage or poor solder joints. If no physical fault is visible, the discussion states the module cannot really be tested in this context and replacement would be the only practical next step, but this was not confirmed as the repair carried out.

Checks to try

• Carbon brushes checked and found to have plenty of life left
• Inspect speed control module for a blown small fuse
• Inspect printed circuit board for burning near the connector strip
• Inspect resistor and solder joints for dry joints or unsoldering
