Indesit W1 13 has power, clicks to start but then stays put?

My washer suddenly went mad yesterday as I noticed the washing was still warm and very wet when I went to take it out. I put wash back in and turned it to a quick wash, the power button pushed in too far and got stuck (;> . I have since managed to take top of, re-fit on off switch and then tried another wash. In order to start the wash I had to push the button as far in as possible and jam it with something. The wash cycle started but when finished again it was still warm and too wet.
I have reset it several times by putting it to the off button. It clicks appropriately. When I set it to wash it goes from flashing red to permanent red and clicks indicating its about to start but then nothing.
Unbelievably my fan oven blue bang on Friday too.
I am a Mum of 2 and we live alone so I am pretty advanced with DIY tasks... I would love to be able to repair washer without having to pay somebody.
Help!!!!
