errorr code E30 on the 1200 ultima please help what does this mean?

when knocking on machine and select programe it starts to fill and then stops with a beeping sond and a error message reading E 30

E30 means the motor isn't working on this machine.
It could be that the brushes have worn out and the motor has blown the fuse. This can happen if they spark excessively but it can also happen if the armature goes down to earh or the armature is faulty. You really need to test the insulation of the motor though with a specialist meter. Hope this helps
