Washing machine - Where is the capacitor - Hotpoint Aquarius

John_caffrey

Hey folks, tested the washing machine some water goes in for a few seconds at the start and then it doesn't continue the cycle. Over a few minutes can hear a clicking sound like something wants to start. The Pump out program works, water is going in, filters are clean.

But the Spin program doesn't work. Seems the motor isn't starting. No spin at all even with basic programs. So must be motor fault.

Might be the capacitor. Temporary video link here of the inside of the machine. Can't find a capacitor that should look like in the photo anywhere. Please help save the machine and save the environment 😫

It doesnt have a capacitor, if you are getting no motor action most likely it needs a new brush kit in the motor

Thanks for the reply. I see those parts aren't that expensive.. 15-20e on average plus delivery. Is it a big job? Have to take out the motor and open it? take care
