Mend Hotpoint WM53 Washing Machine Repair Stuck

Hotpoint WM53 Drum Stuck!?

Hi, my Hotpoint WM53 First Edition 1200 has the drum stuck. It does not move at all! Not to the left or the right when on or off. It is stuck in the same position no matter what! Help Please :(

Someone came to look at it and said the bearings have gone, he said it will take 4 weeks to repair and cost me £270. He would need to take it off site. I asked him to check if its a sock, he said he would need to strip the machine down and would cost me roughly £70 and it may not fix the problem.

I explained this to someone else (over the phone), he said it may be a sock plus the belt gone which would cost roughly £70, or may be the bearings (which may feel like something like a sock stuck in the drum) which would cost roughly £130. He said he would advise me not spend over £100 on such an old machine, and I would probably be better off purchasing a new one.

at first it wasnt moving by hand but it is now. It feels as if a sock or something stuck when movinhg the drum around.
I have switched the washing machine on to test as the drum was moving by hand, however the drum does not turn or spin when on.
