I have power to hte wshing machine but it won't fill. If I move the cycle to spin omly it doesn't spin so doesn't appear to be a water problem. I have checked the taps. I have turned it off and on a few times. All the cycle electrics seem to work OK.

If it won't start to fill & won't spin either, it sounds like a lid switch problem. Lift lid up & down slowly about 20 - 30mm, you should hear the switch click. If you can't hear it, remove the lid & push lid switch in by hand. It is small button at right hand side of lower edge of panel. Hold button in & press start. If machine starts to fill with lid off, then you have a problem with the lid not pressing button in far enough. If this doesn't help, e-mail me & I will talk you through some other tests.
