Zanussi FLS 1183 W

Washing machine has stopped spinning though it does spin manually by hand.
It fills and empties no problem and I've even ran it empty to ensure its not a uneven load.
When I run a cycle I hear one click then it normally spins but I now hear another click which sounds like some sort of switch which is cutting in to stop the spin.
I've checked the filter and that is not the issue also - any ideas ???

Cheers, Rich.

Does the drum turn during the wash/rinse programs or is it only only fast spin that it fails to work

It does not spin at all during any cycle.

Most common cause is carbon brushes in the motor worn away.

Or the drive belt has come off/broken.
