Hi,
I did some major repairing on my Turnamat 2000 a couple of years ago, including repairing the leaking drains in the centrifuge housing. Regarding your centrifuge motor, and assuming it has power supply and still can run, you might want to check out the lid switch which could be corroded. In order to do this you will have to take of the top of the washing machine, enabling you to examine this switch and more. You can then disassemble the switch and give it some overhaul. I added a picture for your convenience.
Good luck!

A centrifugal switch to allow the motor to start up on the start winding and once started it opens to take it out of the start winding. The motor has to have voltage applied to the start winding and the run winding at the same time in order for the motor to start. The capacitor is part of the start circuit. When the motor goes to start, the voltage must be applied to the start winding in order for the motor to start or it will just hum. The moment the motor reaches a certain RPM the centrifugal switch opens up to remove the start voltage to the motor and it will remain running on the run winding. The motor will not start up on run voltage alone. It needs both, the start voltage and run voltage.
I think the problem is that the motor is not getting the start voltage supplied to the motor or the start winding has opened up in the motor.
