it blew the fuse in the electric cupboard and when I tried to switch it on again it did exactly the same thing and there was smoke and the burning rubber smell again

It sounds like there is something jambed like the pump or transmission causing the belt to burn and the motor to draw too much current and blow the fuse.

My only thought is that you may have overloaded the machine. Take half the cloths out and try to redistribute the remaining cloths around the bottom of the machine. This may or may not help, but i the cloths cover the entire bottom of the machine it would be a good indication there are too much cloths in there. That's a good reason that the washer won't spin. another suggestion i would give you is to open the lid and grab the wash tub that has holes in it and force the tub to turn by hand. sometimes those tubs get tied up because of an off balance tub. good luck to ya

The problem may be your breaker box. That's where your problem could be. Also, are you running many appliances while trying to use the washer. A washer... and especially the dryer.. draws a lot of electricity. You need to call an electrician before you have a fire. It could also be a faulty connection. But please don't second guess this. Get help from a reputable appliance repair company. Take care....

There is an electrical problem, DO NOT USE!
This is a major fire risk.
If you know electrics, take off the rear panel and then the top panel.
Check all the wiring connections. Check the belts for the drum and even check inside for something jamming the drum in place.
If you dont know electrics, visit somewhere like the Argos website and look into buying a new one!

I think there's a problem with the belt. It probably is so worn out that it can't make the agitator and tub work. I guess you could try taking half the wet clothes out of the washer to see if it's strong enough to do a lighter load. It's not looking good. Why don't you get a new one.
