Take lid off and carefully give the drum a shove. If it takes off and starts turning then the capacitor is U.S.
Capacitors are for kick starting drum rotations forward and backwards and are usually mounted at the side of the main motor. Its a common fault and an easy repair for most DIYers.
Go to www.espares.co.uk or just Google 'Capacitor for .......(your machine)
cost £5 -15
