Simpson 505 not spinning?

Hello, I have a Simpson Genesis 505 and it won't spin. The aggregator works but when it tries to spin just the aggregator turns, not the whole drum. We had a burning smell the the electricity tripped at the time. There is no water leaking and the pump works. I think the clutch solenoid could be the problem, Does this sound reasonable ?

No it doesn't. I think you will find the brake release solenoid is burnt out and not releasing the brake.
