Oh God indeed. Two years perfect running. Then all three paddles dropped off. Now this.  >:(

It fills, it washes and it drains. But it will not spin    :-/
I have cleaned out the drain pump by taking it off and removing a button and an amount of fluff. I have checked the impeller turns freely and it runs whilst the machine drains (by observing it through the drain plug)
Whether containing a load or empty it goes through the wash cycle then it drains but when it comes to spinning it rotates the drum backwards and forwards whilst the drain pump continues to run.
It then stops with the delay start and the start buttons flashing three times with a fifteen second break.

Upon the advice of Stevie Stoke.  :y
 I have checked the tube from the air chamber to the pressure sensor switch and it is clear of blockages. I have also sucked and blown down the tube and the switch clicks.

Some one has mentioned the motor brushed could be 'weak' but the motor runs okay.

Any ideas fellow OOFers  ;)

Model number would help.

I had one of the Ultima's and it stopped working at certain speeds due to buggered thyristors on the drive circuit board.

the hotpoint machines are designed not to spin if you have an uneven load that would shake the drum to bits ( well ours does), bit of a pain if you want to do a part load, could it be that shake sensor is u/s. :-/

Just pulled the control board out.

It has signs of burning on the tracks and a couple of the components are blackened. Think it could be 'new board time',  bugger :'(

Lol, sounds familiar of my hotpoint.

I repaired my board which kept the machine going for another 18 months before the bearings let go in a big way (without any prior warning!)

3 flashing lights on a hoover model relates to a pump timeout code (3mins) according to the web.

Remember that just because the level switch is clicking does not guarantee correct operation.

Can you post pics of the your charred circuit board.
