My washing machine starts on any selected cycle and then makes the sounds as if it is about to start and then stops after about 30 seconds. There is no error message being shown. Any idea where I should be looking to solve this ?

could be a dryer heater element issue.If they go down to earth this is what happens.A new dryer element might do the trick.Lid off then you can disconnect the 4 wires to the dryer heater element (in the middle at the very back.make a note of where they go) and then start a program with it disconnected.If it then runs it proves the heater is faulty BUT sometimes damage to the main pcb and dryer pcb can occurred!!!!
