My Hoover CA230 1300 special edition washing machine only turns for about 4 secs on the spin cycle but goes really fast at the times when it should be just turning slowly to move the clothes about. The motor never runs for more than 4 secs it never gets up to full speed.
the common fault on this machine is the module has bad solder joins on the relays done hundreds of em also if not spinning the first thing to always check is carbon brushes on motor always worth replacing anyway

mine did the same thing, the little magnet on the end of the motor shaft had shattered. I got a replacement from Hoover direct for about a tenner. It has been fine for 2 years now.
Before you order I strongly advise you to do another check for blockages in the water pump and the pressure sensor bottle.Also have the motor checked properly.

Any idea where I can get a module

the module will cause this fault. Remove the module and inspect it with a magnifying glass. Any burned or scorched components indicate a fault. A new module should not cost you more than 40 quid.

Have checked the pump. its pumping great. The water level switch is okay as well. Something is telling it to go fast at what should be just a slow turn. I hope its not the module as it might be a scrap job. George

Could be your heater element has gone low insulation, this causes problems like you describe. Its hard to check the element without the correct electrical tester. Also it could be the module, as this also causes the symptoms you describe.
