Mend Fisher & Paykel 500 Spin Water

Fisher & Paykel washing machine will not spin?

I have a Fisher& Paykel smartdrive 500 washing machine that will not spin. When it gets to the spin cycle, the water pump works and drains water from the tub, but the agitator will not spin. Is it likely that the control board has been fried?
Are there any diagnostics I can run? Is there any way I can force the machine to spin?

I have replaced the waterpump motor and the machine is working fine now.

I have just had the same problem. Today I took the machine apart, could'nt see any thing wrong and put it back together.
I started it up again on a short wash cycle which it coped with until it got to the spin. I had the front cover off watching and saw smoke coming from what I think is a small transformer so think I have found the problem. I will get an electrician friend to advise me, buy a new part and fit it.
I should have taken the front cover off first because I did think I smelt something the other day but it didn't quite smell like wiring to me but it cetainly is now. Will advise of the actual component in a few days when I have fixed the problem.
