Ow god, hes got a Hotpoint washer....
Just post the fault up..........there not overly complex beasts
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.

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
