NOT SPINNING
Same problem with old Hoover front loader (electra dual spin 1000F), too old for database but in good condition.
Slight electrical burn smell last load, didn't spin out properly, now drum not turning at all though switching mech' seems to be trying to do it's thing.
Checked power to motor, ok
Almost definitely motor problem, could be brushes and that would be consistent with age.
Don't know if motor is brush type, am about to disassemble to find out.

could be that the wights are coming loose on the drum turn the drum by hand and see if you can feel any movement in the drum if yes get them looked at also try some oil on parts
From what I remember, the 535 is a 5.5 kg machine. The best way to load any front loader is to have the tub full but not packed. Its the safest. As for weight capacity, due to Australian Standards testing, machines have to state what load they will handle with a certain volume of water and power usage, but any front loader, load it up but dont pack the clothes in and you will have the best efficiency. By the way, the clothes are measured dry weight..
If the hole goes right through the seal it could be the cause, but I am inclined to think it is a vent hole for the seal and that a leaking seal will come out on the front panel. Remove the machine back and check the pump seals and the hoses, it is more likely those at that age. Take care, there may be live terminals and connectors inside the back of the machine when the power is on.
Sounds like the switch which cuts the machine off when the load is unbalanced. My guess is that:
This switch is being triggered too easily
The springs holding the bowl up are either stretched or one is broken;
The machine may not be level.
