  • Hi All. Just wondering. By the time the original door seal has begun to fail it might be a good idea to check the wear state of the motor brushes. The motor brushes on my 1250 machine gave warnings before the drum stopped for good. First warning was an odd intermittent grating noise similar to when someone engages gears badly in a car ( brush tips bouncing off the rotor ). Next was intermittent stopping part way through a wash cycle. Finally.... no rotation at all. Check the brushes are not worn close to failure point. Hope this helps Guys. By FrankM - - 04 March 2016
  • Hi Rory, I have also had a split door seal and this was then follwed by the machine not spinning, I have now replaced the door seal so what PCB is it I need to order and do you have videos of how to do that. The door seal video was perfect. Thanks. Also I can hear the relay on the control module pcb clicking on and off so do you think that would mean the pcb is ok and maybe the brushes are wet ?

    Hi goodsy, the split seal will be leaking water, which could well have made its way towards electrical components inside the washing machine. I'd advise unplugging and not using again until you're sure everything's ok. It sounds as if the PCB may have been damaged by water leakage. I'd replace this, and replace the seal too.
