Mend Fisher & Paykel MW512 Washing Machine Fault Pump

F&P MW512 spin / pump out problem?

Our F&P MW512 being 5 years old will not spin out a full load yet when the load is reduced by say 50% it works OK. Is their a sensor that controls the load weight and could it have devloped a fault.
Have fushed out the entire bowl and cleaned the pump and all apears clear.
Any ideas please?
Thanks.

Same thing too. After reading a bit, I reached under the machine and felt the plastic fan in the middle. It had hair jamming the cooling blades. After removing the hair, the washing machine works like new again. And no expensive callout. Thanks

Lincoln Apps. Thanks for your comments. Have fully flushed the machine right through and made sure the pump is clear and yet on a full wash cycle it will wash but not spin right our. It appears to hesitate when the spin cycle should commence and not get motivated to continue the spin cycle. Sometimes after sitting for a few minutes it will start spinning yet only part of the water pumps out.
On a full wash load it will half empty the bowel and on a quarter load it will empty but will not commence the spin cycle.
The machine is only 4 years old and has been looked after.
Thanks

The only load sensor is part of the control board circuitry which senses the load on the motor & adjusts the wash motion to suite. Don't think this applies for the spin mode. It can't just wear out. If control board is the problem then it will need replacement. What do you mean exactly when you say it won't spin a full load? Does it not spin at all? Does it spin slowly or just keep stopping? Any beeping or error codes?
