I think this would be a "card" failure as opposed to a filter. I had the same problem previously on an Indesit - it would go through every program and do every single function apart from spin. The card on the Indesit was located towards the bottom of the machine - selection of the correct card was pure luck I'm afraid, but with the card number I was able to purchase a replacement from a spares dealer for £17, and fitting was simple, as the cards merely slot in and out. I know have the very same problem with my Machine now - a Creda 1200 Superspin: I will be attempting to repeat the repair procedure, and will update once attempted!
