The door lock on washer seems to be making clicking or buzzing noises and the washer fills and starts to turn to wash then stops. When turned to the spin cycle the water drains but usually will not spin. I lifted the front thinking it was not level & it did start spinning well then leveled the washer & it started not washing or spinning again. The door lock light is on but seems to be blinking out a little.
I have Adora frontloaders and my washer was doing the same thing, not rinsing. I could literally squeeze the water off of the clothes. Come to find out, I needed to clean the filter that is on the inside part behind the bottom panel. Open the washer's door and there is a screw on each corner, take those off and remove the panel, there is a white tube with a gray lid on it, remove the lid (make sure you have a garbage can or something where the gunk can drop into), let it drain out and presto its done!!
Sounds like very worn motor brushes to me, as its trying to turn the drum but has'nt the power needed to maintain any momentum,and the blinking door light is because of the bad cotact from brushes to motor.About £20 for a set of brushes or get an engineer to fit new brushes,but get a price first.

Thanks for leading me in the right direction. What was making the motor not able to turn the drum was that I had the washer plugged into an energy saving box that said it was for gas dryers and washing machines. My old washer worked fine with the energy saver but the newer front loading washer did not work until I plugged it directly into the wall socket, giving the motor the power it needed. Thanks again!
My washer is 4 months old. THe same model. It makes a buzzing sound and it wouldnt spin. I have tried everything but it just doesnt work. Please help
the washer will drain but wont spin. It makes a grinding noise but that is all.
