    try
    unplug and take the lid off
    make sure there are no children around. push the drum to make sure it can turn. dont push it too fast. If yes then plug it in and select a programme. Then push start and at the same time give the drum a gentle push. if it continues to turn leave it for 10 secs or so then open door and see if it heats

    then get back to me and tell me what happened

    we need to know if it full in the reservoir

    take out the water draw and pour a cup of water (no more) slowly in the tray under the draw. then when you turn on you should see the water pumped into the draw

    well it starts getting more technical now

    looks like either a board or a motor fault

    if the motor does not start and the heater is still energised then it will smoke till the thermostats cut the heater off.
