Do you mean you can't turn it by hand or it will not turn when you switch it on. I'm no expert but i had a machine that worked in every way except it didn't turn. The problem in my case was that it needed new brushes on the motor.
The best advise i ever had on washing machines was to get a Miele and it will be cheapest in the long run as they are expected to last 25years.

Carmen,

Have a look at this website www.washerhelp.com. and this page in particular.

Carmen it may be the brushes(as quoted above) or the capacitor. Capacitor costs about £10 brushes even cheaper!!..so if you have to get someone out to repair it make sure you don't get ripped off. By the way Capacitors hold a lot electric charge and to be on the safe side its maybe best to get someone in.
