    if the drum is not going round it sounds like it could be the brushes which power the motor.my washing machine did this a couple of months ago.good news is that it is very easily fixed. i bought the brushes off ebay only cost about £8.i will forward you the details of the seller if you want.

    I would recommend Alan Cameron from Alacam in Olrig Street Thurso. He will tell you how much to repair the machine, can usually loan you a machine whilst yours is in the workshop, if it is a big job or spares have to be ordered in, but if you need a new one his prices are very reasonable.

    Totally agree, our washing machine in the past has had similar symptoms and the cause has been choked filters.

    I had a Beko that went like yours. The computer/program bit had to be replaced. Just the part was £60. Might not be worth fixing, but before you decide, try a technician.
