How can I fix my Hotpoint Washing Machine Model WT741?

Our 3 year old Hotpoint Ultima Washing Machine was working fine until last evening when the wife had the M/c on slow spin and decided that it had spun enough and switched it off on the front panel using the Start/Cancel button and then the On/Off button.
Went to use the M/c to-day only to find no joy when trying to switch on! I have tested the supply and have it to the M/c thru the capacitor and as far as a connector at the rear (bottom left) of the M/c.
Any ideas?
