Our Hoover washing machine won't spin. It gets to the spin cycle but just sits with the water extract pump running. There is no water in the tub and I have tried disconnecting several of the wires from the various switches. Anyone any ideas? What does the level switch look like?

Had a similar problem with our machine(Hotpoint), replaced the motor brushes, and machine has been fine ever since. I took an educated gamble on the brushes after posting for advice on this excellent forum:

You can also order parts from this site.

Good Luck
The above may be right and it may just be the carbon brushes have worn. if not it could be the pressure switch that controls the water level (it's a round disk with a pipe and a few wires coming from it located at the top of the machine) that is either faulty or not switching due to a blockage in the system.

If it's not one of the above I'm afraid it will probably start to get expensive as you are then possibly looking at a faulty motor control board.
