Default Washing machine drum not revolving.

I have a tricity bendix caw 811 washing machine.

On xmas eve it developed a fault where it sounded like it was working
correctly, but the drum did not revolve.
It fills and drains, makes all the correct noises, but the drum does
not move.
I can move the drum easily by hand.

What are the possible causes of this?


If it was a Hoover I would check the following:

Does the motor use a drive belt to turn the drum and has this come off or
broken?
I don't think this has every happened to me but is a theoretical possibility


Do the bushes in the main motor need replacing?
I typically have to do this after 6-10 years ownership.
