I have a front loading creda 1000 eco washing machine that will not spin at all. the timer seems to work fine, but the drum does not move at all through any of the cycles. the belt is in tact, but the motor isn't moving. last time i tried it, it was turning a for a little bit. again nothing. i don't know wether it may be the brushes or a balance sensor or what. Please Help!!!!!

got the brushes in, and wow! things started going well. ran a couple of spin cycles as directed, and before i put the lid back on i dropped a tool into the machine. i was leaning over with my arm inside , and i guess my belt switched the machine on without knowing it, and must have moved the door release cable into contact with the motor and got a good spark that shot out of the bottom of the motor, now the motor isn't working again. might there be a fuse i could have blown? or did i toast the motor. was a really stupid thing to not have unplugged the machine. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I think i judged where the spark came from. when looking down into the guts of the machine from the load side, there is a electrical board (the brains i would assume) on the right side. behind it i noticed that there is a burn mark on the sheet metal. I am sure this panel must have pushed up against the sheet metal when i was trying to retrieve my tool. Is the panel history? how spendy could it be?
That should be the motor control unit it has a fuse in it but will probably have to replace the whole board disconnect the wires and ohm the fuse

yes its on the board where you see the burn splash its one of thoose white tiny bannna fuzes common looking fuze youll know it when you see it should be in the bottom of the washer where do you see the burn splash
just replace the burned part as for cost i don't know with out the model number look in the bottom of the washer and see if there is an electronic control there if there is it will need to be check too in not totally familiar with your brand most front loaders have a mcu motor control unit and a ccu central control unit mostly the wires run from the motor to the mcu then up to the ccu so both need to be inspected. your motors probley fine.a general rule of shorted circuits is they tend to burn where they occur

i have no idea how to identify the fuse on this thing. auto fuses sure, but on this thing, i am not at all familiar as to what i am looking for, nor where it might be located. would it be on the board itself? please help!!
the burn splash is behind the control board. the control unit is at the top of the washer connected to the wash selector toggle.
