The w/machine went phut yesterday. Probably more of a thump,
but I wasn't there. Apparently the missus tried washing one
towel too many and ....

Pump still works, but the drum doesn't turn and the
programme doesn't advance. The drum still seems "weighted"
much the same as before, so I'm guessing that the belt in
still in place. If so, what would cause this - burnt out
motor?

Probably the carbon brushes in the motor - I had identical symptoms the
other week and replaced the brushes, which put it back to normal working
order.
