[Kevin grinsted]

Bad joke but I still had to smile.

The motor will have some kinda protection somewhere like a fuse on a circuit board or a thermal like a klixon at the motor itself. Problem is you can replace the fuse or reset the klixon but you need to establish why it tripped/blew in the first place. As already suggested there might be a general overheating protective device that disconnects all power to motors and elements etc, it may or may not be manually resettable.

I have to ask, how do you know there is now power going to the motor, but that there is power going to the start switch?

 

[Kevin grinsted]

As the start button buzzes when plugged in and pushed 

Thank you Marvo I will check that tomorrow 

 

[Richard-the-Ninth]

So you have not used a meter to see what is actually getting a voltage?

Could be a dodgy start button if it's 'buzzing'

Your sixth word gives you the answer Inde****, scrap it and buy a decent make.

I had a Inde**** washer/dryer and had nothing but trouble with it from day 1
