My washer/dryer has stopped working! It has power,will take in water,pump out water but the drum will not turn. It will also only dry for 5mins then turns itself off. If I put it on a pump/ spin cycle, it will start to turn but stops as soon as it should kick into spinning, but will not turn on wash cycle.

Is this a brushes fault or electrical fault? & how easy is it to repair?

look inside for a plastic thin tube that goes to a round unit with electrical connections on.Remove the tube from the unit, then select spin. if the drum spins now the chamber at the side of the drum needs to be cleaned.
