AEG 6350 washing machine Drum not spinning

Hi all you wonderful people I am hoping for some advise.
I have a OKO_LAVAMAT 6350 sensortronic washing machine by AEG which is not spinning its drum.

I have looked out the manual but can find nothing that might help.
Can anyone suggest a solution?

Regards Jackie:(

    If the rest of the wash cycle is OK, then it will be motor brushes.
    Remember kids, it's the volts that jolt and the mills that kill.

    not necessasarily so, it could be a number of things.
    1) have you checked the belt ?
    2) could be a blocked pressure switch ?
    3) could be a faulty circuit board / programmer ?
    4) could be a motor fault brushes / armature-windings ?

    best get a qualified washer engineer to take a look or depending on age etc might be time to look for a new machine

    Not an AEG but an Indesit, The drum doesnt turn by hand not even with a bit of force, Seized bearing i thought,
    Turns out the bearing carrier had snapped off & wedged the drum solid.

    Big dent in the rear of the drum. Well beyond repair. Motor is in good nick though, Saved that.

    5 1/1 years old. Good or bad? Think it lasted longer than the £1000?? Or some silly price for the
    Dyson my sister bought.
