As Keith the spin doctor said its the capacitor. My tumbler went wrong over christmas found keiths suggestion and ordered a capacitor noted four wires brown and yellow from timer? and brown and yellow to motor. Checked connections from my sketch before taking apart and paired ins and outs.
Now works fine thank you keith.

THIS IS DEFINATLY THE CAPACITOR! CHANGE IT AND IT WILL BE FINE.IT'S LOCATED DOWN BY THE MOTOR ,CYLINDRICAL WITH 2 WIRES ON IT!BE CAREFUL,PULL MAINS PLUG OUT AND TURN THE MACHINE ON TO DISCHARGE ANY POWER LEFT IN THE CAPACITOR FIRST BEFORE REPLACING IT.
