Hotpoint WM19 washing machine not coping
Hi, I have a hotpoint WM19 first edition white washing machine in my holiday cottage. It will work perfectly and the drum will turn when the machine is empty of clothes, or has a very small load in it - i.e 2 tshirts, 1 towel. However, when an ordinary sized load is in the machine, it will turn a couple of turns, then struggle to move any further - making a large groaning noise. The drum is trying to move. I am wondering what the problem could be - as I'd rather repair the machine than replace it - it's old but in really excellent condition.

The most likely cause of your problem is worn motor brushes as this could reduce the power to the motor and may cause it to stall.
