My Zanussi zwf1221w has stopped spinning

[geordiewood]

Hi, can anyone help? My Zanussi zwf1221w has stopped spinning, pump runs fine and drains the machine, there's no blockages that I can find and the pressure switch seems to work but the motor won't even attempt to run, I've found a motor for this model for sale but just need to know if there's anything else it could possibly be? .... oh the motor and the drum turn freely manually

How old is it? The motor bushes wore out on my zanusii washer after 10 years. Sounds the same as yours, the machine filled and emptied but didn't turn. It was a fairly easy DIY job to replace them, 2 bolts on each one and a couple of clip on wires.

I think it's around 7-8 years old but gets almost industrial use as my son has some health problems , Do you have a link to where I can get the correct bushes? thanks

I got mine from here

Buy Spares

But I looked at this place as well

Ransom Spares

I looked at espares as well. I think it was just down to who had them in stock and how fast delivery was. But you need to take the old ones out to be able to identify what one you need. Mine was 2 screws and wire and was accessed from under the washer. When I took mine off there was almost nothing left so it was obvious they were the problem.
