Hotpoint WMT05 Washing Machine not spinning.

Hi - my washing machine wont fast spin. It washes with the drum turning and it drains ok, but it wont spin. The drain outside the house was blocked the other day so the machine may not have been able to drain properly so I dont know if this has affected it.
Any ideas? It's only about 18 months old but is used about 3 times a day.
Thanks in advance.

will it spin when empty?

if it does it needs new motor brushes
