What model is it?
Something you said towards the end that leads me to think that there might be an issue with the actual programme module/mechanism itself... why sitting there for hours? Is it mechanical or electronic? As far as I know the mechanical timers would progress through the cycle regeardless but in some instances they're bound to some other processes along the cycle operation (like heating), wheras an electronically control machine usually times out when a problem occurs during operation and it's most likely to signal the alleged fault by means of flashing lights or error codes.
Could it be that the motor is getting tired or it just gets hot (as the machine runs overloaded) so it cuts out at certain points (like when it's been working for a while)...? Either case you need to make sure whether the machine really tried but could not have balanced the load or else before finally aborting the spin. See you. | ||

Brushes have about 1cm left of carbon. Were changed about 12 months ago. Spins fine when I reset the machine. Were cheap ones off ebay though. Think my mum ran it with the brushes worn out before this for a bit though, would armature damage have symptoms like this? | ||

Edit: think the brushes are the earlier black type, and not the newer white ones. Would this cause what is happening? | ||
