How can I fix my Hotpoint WMS38 washing machine?

When I try to start the machine, all the lights on the control panel light up (apart from the End light). The machine whirs for 30 seconds like it used to do as it was finishing a cycle and that's all it can manage! We have taken the control panel off and the small rectangular part with what looks like wire wrapped round several times seems to have burnt out. Can't find a website which supplies the panel. What next?
