Zanussi will not spin fast

[rayver]

My machine is a 1050 Jetsystem and this week it stopped spinning fast.
It will go thru' a cycle, redistribute the weight ie spin backwards and forwards then spin slowly and never get to fast spin speed.
Cycle finishes OK but clothes are wet.
Same without clothes.

first thing i'd go for is motor brushes

Worked well for 1 week, then it done the same thing.
Took out new brushes and to make sure i put them in correct, i swapped them.
The problem still exist!!!!!!
Help, going mad.

Possible that the tacho on the back of the motor has come loose. This is used to sense motor speed.

Brush end of motor in the centre is a round discv with two wires coming from it. in the centre is a piece that screws in and sometimes comes loose. (sometimes it is under a little metal plate if it is then generally it will not have come loose)

Thanks, i will try that.
Whilst everthing was apart i had a chance to blow out all pressure pipes and blowing gently into the preasure swithes found they worked OK.
We tried it and it went fast but not long enough to dry so will try again then try the speed controller.
Thanks.
