LG Intellowasher LE Error and now no power, need further help please Phil?

I have had this washing machine 3 years, brought it with me from UK to Australia, had the repair man out and says it has a faulty lock like you said, but when he opened the back up and took off the round cover he said he could see a leak and may need a new seal, then went on to say because of the leak it would have gone into the motor, and also need a new motor, to be honest the leak was only small, he has priced up the parts, lock, seal and motor and will cost around $700.00 to fix, but slight problem can't get the parts anywhere in Australia, I have ordered a new machine not LG but is there anyway I could poke around with it to get it to work, to be honest the machine I have ordered isn't has good as the one I got, so I might as well have a go, any suggestions.

Man thanks
