Was the main motor in mine, advised by the local spares shop how to remove it (like an alternator from a car), took it in, and the shopkeep was quite gungho about it, says I'll put it on my testrig in the back, so he disappears...a few moments later, there is a large BANG!!!! and the shop lights go dim, he comes back, looking shaken, and says, in a shaky voice, Yes, it is faulty.
Fortunately, it was something simple within the motor that broke, as it was repairable. The brushes, or a diode or something.
I think the shopkeep's underpants needed replacement after that encounter?

having now emptied machine of clothes it appears that it didn't drain or spin, could it be a progamming fault??

Did you check / repair the main motor as suggested? If required, disconnect the main motor, and run a cycle, and see if it still blows fuse box, then you could diagnose down to faulty doorlock, or broken programmer. Cannot update information, if you don't implement suggestions.
