Hoover washing machine won't spin

[jonesy1010-0]

Our Hoover washing machine won't spin. It gets to the spin cycle but just sits with the water extract pump running. There is no water in the tub and I have tried disconnecting several of the wires from the various switches. Anyone any ideas? What does the level switch look like?

Had a similar problem with our machine(Hotpoint), replaced the motor brushes, and machine has been fine ever since. I took an educated gamble on the brushes after posting for advice on this excellent forum:

The above may be right and it may just be the carbon brushes have worn. if not it could be the pressure switch that controls the water level (it's a round disk with a pipe and a few wires coming from it located at the top of the machine) that is either faulty or not switching due to a blockage in the system.

If it's not one of the above I'm afraid it will probably start to get expensive as you are then possibly looking at a faulty motor control board.
