Zanussi Aquacycle 1100 Stopping Mid-Cycle

Hi.

I've read through all the FAQs and reasons for a machine not working; very interesting and informative, but I couldn't find my answers there.

My machine was recently moved as our kitchen is being redesigned, and since then (yesterday) when it was plumbed back in, the cycle begins but only goes so far then stops. I've included a picture of the the program dial (guess it's pretty old: no digital readout!). I usually start a normal wash at H and it spins around ending I think on K, not entirely sure. But now it's stopping at J. I tried moving it on slightly by hand, and it did spin again, but soon stopped.

It stops with the sound of a motor ticking over, as if it can't get started, but yet if I move it to the drain cycle (door won't open while the cycle is stuck) it will drain and I can open the door. I asked the plumber to look at it, but he said his specialty was not washing machines and didn't know what to do about it. I took out and cleaned the filter --- it was pretty filthy --- and restarted but after a short burst of activity it again stopped.

I can buy a new one if necessary, though if it's only a part that needs to be replaced, or something I'm doing wrong I'd prefer to go that route. However, what I want to avoid is paying an engineer to come out, be told he can't fix it and be left with that bill plus the price of a new machine! It is however essential that I get it sorted within the next few days, as I can't be without a machine.

Any help or advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
