Zanussi Electrolux Essential 1600 won't spin?

In my case, the problem was due to two red wires becoming detached from a sensor located on one of the larger hose/ducts upper left corner looking in through the rear access panel.

The crimp connector had fallen apart and the two wires were lying on the bottom of the chassis. I re-crimped the connector, plugged if back in and off it went.

I suspect the cause was excessive vibration due to moving the machine to a new house, and not quite getting the levelling correct.

Mines would not spin on it's own either, but once the cycle is finished, i turn the dial to off, then manually turn it back to spin, press start and it spins! Well, for mine it works. Good luck!
