Mend Simpson 0036A405P000 Cycle Washing Pump

How can I fix the spin cycle on my Simpson Genesis washing machine?

The washing machine has stopped spinning. I have checked the pump, it works. Checked the brake solanoid, it works. Any other suggestions on what I might try. Machine is an old one, model number 0036A405P000. The machine seems to be making the right noises but the big bowl in the middle isnt turning round as I thought it probably should during the spin cycle. Very heavy wet washing is the end result. Hope you can help this rookie fix it yourself woman. Cheers

I changed the motor on mine and that fixed it. The old motor did not have enough power to get going. If I turned it by hand to get it going, then it would work.

Hi, I hope you managed to find some help on your 12000. I have a 7000 and looking for any diagrams/manuals for it. Can you send me anything?

When you put it on final spin & start machine you should hear the brake solenoid pull in with a loud clunk. Lift the lid & it will clunk again as it releases. After solenoid pulls in to release brake then motor will start. So if you can hear both the solenoid & the motor working then the problem must be with the belt slipping or the pulley not turning the gearbox & drum. Check also that you do not have machine set on drip dry. That switch should be on normal.
