Diplomat apm 8512 washing machine powers on but won't run?

Diplomat apm 8512 washing machine. Power goes on; door locks; machine fills in pulses of about 1 second; drum doesn't turn and program doesn't advance. If I turn programmer to "spin" machine empties, but drum doesn't spin. Not an easy one. Machine came with MFI kitchen just over 2 years ago.

same problem - mfi kitchen - machine has had 12 months use and packed up - not gonna bother with a fix - will be more expensive than the machine probably - already swapped it for a Bosch

Mine has the same problem. Called out a Domestic Appliances Engineer who said the circuit board is faulty and he has quoted me £109 for a new one!
My machine is 5 yrs old. Thinking of just buying a new Washing Machine rather than have a repair done for £109 plus call out fee of £40 !!

possibly faulty motor brushes.
