Hotpoint Washing Machine WM63?

The drum does not turn at all during the cycle. It turns freely by hand when empty without noise. The machine goes through the cycle, filling with water etc. to a certain point and then just stops.

Thanks will try if I'm feeling brave!

could also be motor brushes or drive belt

could be a problem with the level detection system - an air operated pressure switch located under the top cover. power off, remove cover and look for a round unit about 3 inches across. disconnect the black rubber pipe attached to it, blow down the pipe to clear any blockage and reattach. also try cleaning the filter unit. apart from that could also be a problem with the heater or thermal cutout? check out www.2ndwave.co.uk/manual.html
