Check the carbons in the motor. If they're not worn down then check the wiring to the motor for breakages.

Good point, however, one of the first checks these machines make is to turn the drum, no motor action = not much else happens.
There is a drain only position on the programmers which would allow the OP's description of the fault if the programmer was manually turned.
