    Obvious question – does the door actually lock? If it does, the lock is not the problem.

    These machine perform a “self check” on start up. If the motor or the pump specifically are out of circuit, it won’t go. Motor brushes is the common one quoted on these forums, but wiring issues are common. Pump wires break at the connector block and motor wires break in the support across the front of the tub and occasionally in the motor plug.

    Stay safe, power off first, please.

    i refitted the switch and bridged the middle and end wire on the multi plug via two spades and it started ?

    Greased lightning, usually. Dave on spares@ is extremely efficient. He’s also bigger than me, so I have to say that. If you order now, it’ll be despatched on Monday, so delivery allowing, you’ll be working properly by mid-week.
