Hi Richie. Your machine (in fact any machine) won't spin if theres water inside the drum (the pressure switch makes it impossible). Sounds like you have a blockage on the waste pump. If there's a filter at the fron, get as much water as possible out the machine, get a few towels and then open the filter. If there's no filter, pull the machine out, tilt it on its back a look for the waste pump (the part that links to the waste hose). Clear any blockage.
If after you removed stuff out of the waste pump, if it still not spinning, then it will be the motor brushes. Remove one and check for wear (if its below 1cm then they need changing, they are normally 5 to 6 cm long).
Cheers
