BoschWFK5730GB04 does not spin - why?

The WM fills and drains fine, the timer/control dial is working and clicking as normal. The belt is still in place but the motor is not working. Any suggestions?

Check the brushes on the motor. I thought my 4 yr old Bosch was faulty big-time, so I called out an engr for the same symptom. He simply changed the brushes!! I didn't even check mine, thinking it was the programmer, but it was a simple job to replace the worn brushes. New ones have 40mm each side, but at the 8mm stage, they start to fail.
