Does the clutch lever on the handle feel to be pulling as normal (ie normal
tension of spring)? That's often a good guide as to whether the cable has
broken or come off. Our old Qualcast had a lever next the roller which was
moved a few mm sideways by the cable to disengage the clutch. If you can
find something similar, check whether it moves when the handle is pulled.
